Abstract
The accurate determination of the impedance of oxide films in metal/oxide/electrolyte systems is shown to be possible through a modified procedure. The film impedance thus determined is found to be quite different from the measured cell impedance for anodic aluminium oxide formed on pure aluminium. The computed values of tan δ and conductivity are found to be in agreement with the values reported earlier for anodic and thermal oxides.
