摘要
Magnesium: carbon films 25 nm thick, with approximately 40% carbon content and a 5 nm Pd capping layer, were co-sputtered in a dc magnetron sputtering chamber. The films were found to be X-ray amorphous. The hydrogen uptake was studied by in situ resistance measurements. The uptake showed one fast process with a time span of a few seconds followed by much slower resistance change, indicating structural relaxation. The isotherms show similar behavior as found in amorphous materials with a broad distribution of binding energies. A significant part of the film showed a reduction in the binding energy of hydrogen in MgH2 that would yield a release temperature of similar to 200 degrees C at 1 bar. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
