Abstract

Electrostatic fields in oxides and similar compounds formed on metals by thermal reaction with ambient gases are deduced for the case in which rate is determined by charged-particle diffusion through the compound. Specifically, the limiting case where the macroscopic electrostatic potential leads to a condition approximating local charge neutrality is examined. The position-dependent electric field in the compound leads to an electrostatic potential across the layer which is independent of thickness.
