Description
Ion scattering and Auger-electron spectroscopies show that there is a large segregation of uranium at the surface of UFe2. Adsorbed oxygen reacts only with this uranium and forms a stable oxide layer at the surface, which prevents further oxygen diffusing into the solid. As a result of this process, the iron remains in metallic form even after prolonged oxygen exposures
