Impedance spectroscopy was used to study the initial stage of the spontaneous passivation of a metal immersed in a liquid electrolyte. The error in the measured impedance responses due to the time variability of the passivating system is discussed and evaluated. Three models of impedance response du
The photoresponse ofpassivatingfilms grown on tin in slightly alkalinesolutions has beenstudied under both galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions. The response of films growing under galvanostatic conditions was used to determine the nature and magnitude of their deviation from stoichiometry, a
