Raman Spectra of Possible Corrosion Products of Iron.

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA056298 |

Abstract:

Raman spectra of FeO, Fe3O4, alpha-Fe2O3, alpha-FeOOH, and gamma-FeOOH, the common products of iron oxidation, have been measured. The spectra of FeO and Fe3O4 appear to be identical. Armco iron oxidized in air at 250 C was examined by Raman spectroscopy after varying periods of exposure and the surface film was found to contain Fe3O4 and alpha-Fe2O3.
