Abstract

Iron oxidation in air flux has been studied and the iron response to laser radiation has been evaluated. Effect of cooling rate on the oxide formation has been demonstrated. The Mössbauer conversion electron spectra have shown that a larger amount of oxides is formed in the surface layer. Any clearly expressed temperature dependence of the oxidation process has not been observed. It has been experimentally determined that the oxide amount depends upon the sample collection site.
