On the mechanism of oxide film formation on zirconium

O. Flint and J.H.O. Varley  
Abstract

Some experiments are described that indicate the extent to which the initial surface condition of zirconium controls both thermal and anodic oxidation of the metal. Some observations of the effect of ultraviolet light are also reported. The interpretation suggested for these observations is in terms of the possible variation in electronic work function and defect state of the oxide depending upon the physical condition of the metal surface. These variations will affect the efficiency of anodic film formation, and a qualitative scheme of possible mechanisms whereby film growth is controlled is described.

On the mechanism of oxide film formation on zirconium

Some experiments are described that indicate the extent to which the initial surface condition of zirconium controls both thermal and anodic oxidation of the metal. Some observations of the effect of ultraviolet light are also reported. The interpretation suggested for these observations is in terms of the possible variation in electronic work function and defect state of the oxide depending upon the physical condition of the metal surface. These variations will affect the efficiency of anodic film formation, and a qualitative scheme of possible mechanisms whereby film growth is controlled is described.
