P. Kalinauskas et al., CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF ZINC IN NEUTRAL MEDIUM - EFFECT OF LASER ILLUMINATION, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 30(11), 1994, pp. 1193-1196
We discuss photoelectrochemical phenomena that occur under action of l
aser illumination (lambda = 488 nm) on zinc, covered with interphase o
xide layer, in a self-aerated 5% NaCl solution. The optical signal has
been shown to mainly influence one of the two conjugated processes, n
amely the oxygen reduction, by intensifying it.
