How can one recognize the difference between a stable surface and one that is actively corroding? ... If a strong, even film of corrosion is formed on a metal, this will often protect the underlying metal against further corrosion by providing a barrier against new chemical reactions. Thus, a stable passivating layer is produced. Stable surfaces on metal objects are generally adherent and the thickness does not increase (or increases only minimally) with time. 2, record 1, English, - stable%20surface

Comment reconnaître la différence entre une surface stable et une surface attaquée par la corrosion active? [...] Si une couche de corrosion uniforme et compacte s’est formée à la surface d’un métal, elle protégera souvent le métal sous-jacent contre la formation de corrosion supplémentaire en créant une barrière qui empêchera de nouvelles réactions chimiques. C'est ainsi que se forme une couche de passivation stable. Les surfaces stables sur les objets métalliques sont habituellement adhérentes et l'épaisseur n’ augmente pas(ou de façon très minime) au fil du temps. 1, record 1, French, - surface%20stable

The planar detector consists of a crystal of either rectangular or circular cross section and a sensitive thickness of 1-20 mm ... The electric field is perpendicular to the cross-sectional area of the crystal. The crystal thickness is selected on the basis of the gamma-ray energy region relevant to the application of interest, with the small thicknesses optimum for low-energy measurements (for example in the L-x-ray region for special nuclear material). Planar detectors usually achieve the best energy resolution, because of their low capacitance; they are preferred for detailed spectroscopy, such as the analysis of the complex low-energy gamma-ray and x-ray spectra of uranium and plutonium. 1, record 9, English, - planar%20detector

La passivation permet à de nombreux métaux et alliages de résister à la corrosion. C'est le cas notamment des aciers inoxydables sur la surface desquels il se forme, par simple contact avec l'atmosphère, un film très protecteur d’oxyde de fer et de chrome qui les rend «passifs» vis-à-vis des agents de corrosion. La passivation peut être réalisée par oxydation anodique(formation de couche protectrice d’oxyde du métal de base). 3, record 17, French, - passivation%20par%20oxydation%20anodique
