We tune the thermodynamics of hydrogen absorption in Mg by means of elastic clamping. The loading isotherms measured by hydrogenography show that Mg films covered with Mg-alloy-forming elements, such as Pd and Ni, have hydrogen plateau pressures more than 2 orders of magnitude hi ...
We investigated the influence of the substrate on the thermodynamic properties of metal hydride thin films by hydrogenography, using PdHx as a model system. After appropriate hydrogen cycling, reproducible hydrogenation properties are found at the same equilibrium pres ...

Hydrogenography of PdHx thin films

Influence of H-induced stress relaxation processes

Hydrogenography is a new optical thin film combinatorial method that follows hydrogenation and determines its associated thermodynamic properties. Due to clamping to the substrate, stresses generated in thin films are larger than in bulk. This must be taken into account for a com ...
A multisite lattice gas approach is used to model pressure-optical- transmission isotherms (PTIs) recorded by hydrogenography on Mgy Ti1-y Hx sputtered thin films. The model reproduces the measured PTIs well and allows us to determine the chemical short-range order parameter s. T ...
