Pd-capped nanocrystalline Mg films were prepared by electron beam evaporation and hydrogenated under isothermal conditions to investigate the hydrogen absorption process via ion beam techniques and in situ optical methods. Films were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) provided a detailed compositional depth profile of the films during hydrogenation. Gas-solid reaction kinetics theory applied to ERDA data revealed a H absorption mechanism controlled by H diffusion. This rate-limiting step was also confirmed by XRD measurements. The diffusion coefficient (D) was also determined via RBS and ERDA, with a value of (1.1±0.1)·10−13 cm2/s at 140 ∘C. Results confirm the validity of IBA to monitor the hydrogenation process and to extract the control mechanism of the process. The H kinetic information given by optical methods is strongly influenced by the optical absorption of the magnesium layer, revealing that thinner films are needed to extract further and reliable information from that technique. |
