We have found a new reaction pathway to form stable 8b (Ni, Pd) metal hydride compounds under soft plasma conditions (working pressure 50 Pa, substrate temperature 450 - 550 K) The applied bias voltage was varied from 0 to -100 V.
The films were investigated by x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectometry and atomic force microscopy.
The hydrogen incorporation takes place discontinously. To understand the phase formation we performed synchrotron investigations (Hasylab, Hamburg "Surface layers in reactive plasmas" project I-20080137).
The macroscopic kinetics of formation and decomposition processes is complex. A modified isoconversional method was used to describe the competitive reactions.
