Chemisorption model of electrochemical passivity of metals and thermodynamic calculation of the flade potential of metals Ni and Cr taking into account their surface Gibbs energy

Kinetics of Iron Passivation Studied by Sub-Second Resolution Realtime X-ray Reflectivity Technique

“…6 Thermodynamic calculation that treats the interfacial atomic monolayer as a different phase than the bulk is also discussed. 7,8 Thus, atomistic knowledge of the passivation process is required. The steady-state structure of the passivation layer has been studied with various techniques.…”
