This research project, supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, focusses on the detailed mechanisms of corrosion of iron and aluminum based materials. A variety of surface analytical probes are brought to bear on the atomic level characterization of corrosion films, especially X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), analytical electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. These methods are used to identify reaction intermediates, and to suggest mechanisms for corrosion of these materials. The use of valence band XPS, in combination with electronic structure calculations to identify specific surface species, provides a unique and very powerful tool for the identification of intermediates and elucidation of mechanisms in these studies. A better understanding of corrosion mechanisms and processes is crucial to the mitigation of corrosion, which is of serious environmental and economic concern. The use of electron spectroscopic tools to identify and characterize corrosion products and processes is the focus of this research project. Corrosion of iron and aluminum based materials is a serious technological problem, impacting the quality of the civil infrastructure and the environment in many ways. A clear understanding of the process of corrosion would be very useful in designing strategies for corrosion inhibition and mitigation.

该研究项目由分析和表面化学项目支持，重点研究铁和铝基材料腐蚀的详细机制。 各种表面分析探针用于腐蚀膜的原子级表征，特别是 X 射线光电子能谱 (XPS)、分析电子显微镜和 X 射线衍射。 这些方法用于识别反应中间体，并提出这些材料的腐蚀机制。 价带 XPS 的使用与电子结构计算相结合来识别特定的表面物种，为这些研究中的中间体识别和机制阐明提供了独特且非常强大的工具。 更好地了解腐蚀机制和过程对于减轻腐蚀至关重要，腐蚀具有严重的环境和经济问题。 使用电子能谱工具来识别和表征腐蚀产物和过程是该研究项目的重点。 铁和铝基材料的腐蚀是一个严重的技术问题，在很多方面影响民用基础设施和环境的质量。 清楚地了解腐蚀过程对于设计抑制和缓解腐蚀的策略非常有用。
