A corrosion study of austenitic and martensitic steels under boiler conditions by means of 57Fe conversion electron mössbauer spectroscopy

Abstract The growth of protective oxide layers on a martensitic FeCr (1.4122) and two austenitic FeCrNi steel samples (1.4550 and Incoloy 800) was studied by means of the 57Fe Conversion Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS). Scanning electron microscopy was applied to characterize the topographical nature of the oxide layers. Following a technical procedure of running-in steam generators, the steel specimens were oxidized in oxygen-free water at 295°C, 142 bar and a pH value between 9 and 10 for periods up to 70 h. In the case of the steels 1.4122 and 1.4550 the only oxide phase detected was non-stoichiometric magnetite, whereas nickel ferrite of nonstoichiometric composition was found…

DETERMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM CONTENT OF NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC ALUMOGOETHITES USING MÖSSBAUER SPECTROSCOPY

ANOMALOUS SPIN STATES OF IRON (II) IN MÖSSBAUER EMISSION SPECTRA OF [57 Co(2-CH3-phen),] (ClO4)2.2 H2O AND [57Co(2-CH3O-phen)3] (ClO4)2.H2O

Mössbauer effect study of the electronic ground state of iron(II)in tris(2-chlorophenanthroline)iron(II) perchlorate

Abstract Mossbauer spectra of [Fe(2-Cl-phen) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O have been measured in the temperature range 293 − 5 K. The spectra indicate that the iron atom in this compound possesses a spin quintet ground state throughout the temperature range under study, in contradiction to the suggested high spin-low spin transition, which has been concluded from a magnetic susceptibility study by other authors. From a theoretical analysis of the temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting, with trigonal distortion, spin-orbit coupling, and effects of covalency taken into account, the ground term of iron(II) in this compound has been elucidated as being 5 A 1 ( 5 T 2g ), separated from the 5 …
