Pulsed-laserinduced reactive quenching at liquid-solid interface: Aqueous oxidation of iron

Abstract
High-power pulsed-laserinduced reactive quenching at liquid-solid interface is used for the first time to synthesize a metastable form of iron oxide. The oxide phase is characterized by using the techniques of conversion-electron Mössbauer spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
