b Physicotechnical Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ural Branch, Izhevsk, Russia Received November 11, 2005 Abstract — Anodic dissolution of iron and its silicides (FeSi, FeSi2, as well as the eutectic alloy FeSi2–Si) and pure Si, in 0.1 to 5.0 N NaOH solutions is studied by cyclic voltammetry and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Principal characteristic features of the silicide anodic dissolution are revealed and the composition of surface films investigated. It is shown that, despite an increase in Si solubility at higher pHs, the iron silicides are highly resistant to anodic dissolution due to especial protective properties of the complex oxide surface film.
