The initial stages of oxidation of a massive Cerium sample at room temperature in an ultrahigh vacuum (oxygen partial pressure 10-6 Pa) after obtaining an atomically pure surface by bombardment with Ar+ ions were studied using electron Auger spectroscopy. It was found that chemisorption is observed initially when exposed to oxygen up to 5 L, from 5 to 14 L Ce2O3 nuclei are formed, followed by coalescence at exposures from 14 to 40 L. The process ends with the formation of a thick oxide film Ce2O3. Keywords: oxide, vacuum, adsorption, chemisorption, exposure, coalescence.
