Abstract
A reanalysis of earlier electron reemission Mössbauer (ERM) data obtained from iron oxidized in pure oxygen at 150 to 500°C is presented. The new data analysis utilized the same theoretical method used previously, but with significantly altered values for the electron attenuation coefficients determined from recent experimental work by Graham, Mitchell, and Channing. The recalculated oxide-thickness values were found to be in much better agreement with the volumetrically measured oxygen uptake.
