Abstract

Cr6+, formed as CrO3 along with Cr2O3 during the oxidation of pure chromium, is shown to reduce to Cr4+ (as CrO2) in the course of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Chromate which formed as a result of surface hydration of the oxide film was less affected by irradiation. Estimates have been made of the amounts of CrO3 and CrO4 2- present in the oxide film prior to irradiation.
