The electrical conductivity of zircaloy oxide films
Abstract
The electrical conductivity of Zircaloy-2, improved Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4 oxide films has been measured using gold, copper and zirconium electrodes over the temperature range of 296–723 K. No notable discrepancies among the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity in the oxide films obtained from all electrodes were found. Depending on the activation behavior it is thought that the conductivity corresponds to the thermal excitation …
