“…For more details on this scattering geometry, we refer to a recent review. 49 On certain metals, e.g., Ti, Zr, and Al, the thickness of the passive film tends to be proportional to the degree of anodic polarization.

Neutron reflectivity (NR) is potentially a powerful tool for characterizing chemical and morphological changes in thin films and at buried interfaces in corrosion science. While the scope of NR is limited by its inherent demands for low surface roughness and high sample planarity, these drawbacks are compensated for by the unique ability to detect light elements and distinguish between isotopes. Furthermore, the generally weak absorption of neutrons by matter allows the use of bulky sample environments and in situ experiments. In particular, the layer thickness range of 3–100 nm accessible by NR is appropriate for studying air-formed films and passive films, which are crucial for the ability of metallic materials to resist corrosion, as well as for investigating the interaction of metal surfaces with hydrogen and its compounds, e.g., water. Also, NR is suitable for studying early stages of oxide growth on metals at high temperature, including the transition from Cabrera–Mott-type films to Wagner-type growth. Here, we outline key characteristics of NR as applied to the study of corrosion of metals, exemplified by earlier work, and discuss perspectives for future work in the field. The aim of our work is to stimulate the application of the unique capabilities of NR to corrosion science.
