Study on the initial oxidation of uranium-niobium alloy in oxygen atmosphere by XPS
The initial oxidation of uranium-niobium alloy in oxygen atmosphere at 298K was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The changes of U4f
Nb3d and O1s spectrum during in-situ oxidation indicated that the adsorption of oxygen on uranium-niobium alloy surface first led to the formation of UO 2
UO 2- x and NbO
then NbO 2 and Nb 2O 5 were detected with increasing exposure of oxygen. The segregation of uranium and niobium to the surface was observed at different oxidation stages.
