Title: OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF ANODIC OXIDE FILMS ON TANTALUM, NIOBIUM AND TANTALUM + NIOBIUM ALLOYS, AND THE OPTICAL CONSTANTS OF TANTALUM. Quarterly Report No. 16 for Period July 1 to September 30, 1960 on THE FORMATION OF OXIDE FILMS ON METALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4023888

The refractive indices of oxide films formed on Ta, Ta75 at% Nb, Ta-25 at% Nb, and Nb were calculated from reflectivity measurements. The results indicate that the oxide films contain thin outer layers of light-absorbing oxide and that their refractive indices depend on the way the films are formed, e.g., in dilute or concentrated solution. Preliminary measurements on Zr are reported. (D.L.C.)
