β¦ Synopsis
The semiconducting properties of passive films grown on three different stainless steels have been investigated by measuring the potential dependence of the capacitance at various frequencies and in different solutions. The results of the capacitance response indicate that the passive films behave like highly doped n-type semiconductors. A strong frequency dispersion hampers the determination of the exact value of the flat band potential of the films from the Mot&Schottky plots. Donor concentrations in the range 102"-1021 crne3 have been obtained at 1 kHz. The intersection potentials at l/C?=0 show a linear dependence on the pH.
