Progress in Corrosion Science and Engineering I

Topics in Number 46 include:Comprehensive review of the structural aspects and anti-corrosion properties of passive films on metals and alloys; a detailed description is given of the nucleation and growth of 2-dimensional passive films at earlier stages, their effect on the corrosion properties of metal surfaces, and the nanostructures of 3-dimensional passive filmsResearch on nano- and micro-fabrications based on anodizing treatments combined with chemical/mechanical processes such as laser irradiation, atomic force micro-probe processing, and thin film deposition techniquesPassivity of aluminum-based amorphous alloys and stainless steels and the catalytic activity of copper-based amorphous alloysTheoretical analysis of the admittance behavior of passive film/electrolyte junction based on the theory of amorphous semiconductor Schottky barriersFrom reviews of previous volumes:This long-standing series continues its tradition of offering high quality reviews of established and emerging subject areas, together with the less common aspects of electrochemical science... [and]... deserves a place in electrochemistry libraries and should prove useful to electrochemists and related workers.-Chemistry and IndustryContinues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series.-Journal of Electroanalytical ChemistryWill definitely be of much use to researchers in the field of electrochemistry. . . . The editors of this well-produced volume deserve all appreciation for maintaining the excellent standard of the series.-Bulletin of ElectrochemistryExtremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series.-Journal of the American Chemical Society
