Philippe Marcus: A Surface Science Approach of Corrosion

The protection of metals and alloys against corrosion is a major
issue in many respects including, but not limited to, scientific
and technical aspects. In his lecture Philippe Marcus shows how a
surface science approach contributes to provide a detailed
understanding of corrosion at the nanoscale. The emphasis will be
placed on the growth, structure and corrosion protection properties
of ultrathin oxide layers formed on metals and alloys in aqueous
solution.
