Stainless Steel Surface Structure and Initial Oxidation at Nanometric and Atomic Scales
STM imaging of oxide-free stainless steel reveals a reconstructed lattice with self-organized vacancy lines, while initial oxidation nucleates at steps and injects vacancies, producing Cr-rich oxide islands and locally Cr-depleted terraces.
