Abstract

The oxidation of vacuum deposited bismuth films at 30 mm of oxygen pressure in the temperature range 175-250°C has been studied. The kinetic data fits in well with the parabolic law. The ionic and electronic transport numbers were determined by measuring the e.m.f. of the cell Bi¦Bi2O3¦O2(g), Ag at 250°C and 30 mm O2 pressure. Using these data the rate of oxidation at 250°C has been calculated according to Wagner's equation. An agreement of this Kρ= 2.3 × 10-13g2/cm4/sec with the experimentally observed value (Kp = 1.7 × 10-13g2cm4/sec) supports the Wagner's mechanism.
