Abstract

The unique capability of the scanning tunneling microscope, STM, for in situ nanoscale electronic measurements has been utilized to establish the nature of the oxide film on 304 stainless steel under HCI, distilled water, and in air. New insights were obtained concerning the kinetics and electronic surface states of the oxide film as a function of exposure time to these environments: quantitative measurements of the corrosion behavior and the stability of the oxide film, as related to observed defects, have been obtained. These findings have resulted in a model which incorporates these new insights with previously established theories concerning oxidized surfaces.
