The forming of austenitic stainless steel is often accompanied by a transformation of its crystalline structure into martensite. The effect of martensite content on the steel’s passivation behavior is still controversially discussed.

Comparison of the corrosion behavior and surface morphology of NiTi alloy and stainless steels in sodium chloride solution [PDF]
The corrosion behavior of NiTi alloy and stainless steels (AISI 316L and X2CrNiMoN22-5-3) in 0.9% sodium chloride (0.154 moll-1) solution was investigated using open circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and ...

Visibility of dielectrically passivated graphene films
The visibility of monolayer graphene is dependent on its surrounding dielectric environment and the presence of any contamination associated with 2D layer transfer. Here, the optical contrast of residually contaminated monolayer graphene encased within a range of dielectric stacks characteristic of realistic devices is examined, highlighting the ...

Passive Films and Blistering of Titanium [PDF]
AbstractCoupons of titanium alloys under consideration as components of the Engineered Barrier System in the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain have been evaluatedfor their passive film composition and stability. Oxide depths and compositions on specimens exposed in long-term corrosion testing for one year were determined with x-ray photoemission ...

Effect of alloying elements on the electronic properties of passive films formed on carbon steel, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels in a highly concentrated LiBr solution [PDF]
The influence of alloying elements on the electrochemical and semiconducting properties of thin passive films formed on several steels (carbon steel, ferritic and austenitic stainless steels) has been studied in a highly concentrated lithium bromide ...

Transmission electron microscopy of undermined passive films on stainless steel [PDF]
A study has been made of the passive film remaining over pits on stainless steel using a high resolution transmission electron microscope. Type 305 stainless steel was passivated in a borate buffer solution and pitted in ferric chloride.

In situ XANES study of the cathodic reduction behavior of the passive film on iron and artificial passive films [PDF]
The objective of the present work is to compare the behavior of the passive film on iron with artificial passive films (thin sputter-deposited films of iron oxides on inert substrates). In situ XANES measurements were used to monitor both dissolution and

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
