Abstract

The photoelectron spectra and the electron energy loss spectra for clean surfaces of construction zirconium alloys E110 and E635, as well as the surfaces of these alloys with different levels of oxidation starting from submonolayers of oxygen, were measured. The electronic structures of the valence band, Zr4p and Sn4d states, as well as changes in the electronic structure upon on oxidation were investigated. The results are compared with the data obtained upon the oxidation of pure zirconium. The surface oxidation rates of the E110 and E635 alloys are practically the same but significantly lower than the oxidation rate of pure zirconium.
