Surface Interaction Lab

An interactive laboratory to explore the microscopic physics of **Oxide Growth** vs. **Surface Pitting**. Observe how light waves scatter as the surface integrity breaks down.

Interaction Diagnostics
Oxide Thickness 100 nm
Overheat Pitting Smooth
Reflection
Specular
Color State
Deep Blue
Lab Logic: Thickness grows the film ($Cr_2O_3$) while Pitting physically jaggs the surface. When Ra > λ, light scatters randomly (Diffuse), destroying the radiant structural color.
