Mechanical stress upon hydrogen absorption in Nb-Fe Films — •Philipp Klose, Magnus Hamm, Vladimir Roddatis, and Astrid Pundt — Institut für Materialphysik, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen, Deutschland
Hydrogen absorption in thin films adhered to rigid substrates results in compressive mechanical in-plane stresses.[1,2,3] These stresses can lead to changes in the material's properties. While the in-plane film stress increases linearly on the hydrogen content for low hydrogen concentrations, deviations from the linearity appear at the yield stress [3,4]. The yield stress inversely depends on the film thickness.[5] For hydrogen loaded Niobium films, linearity is maintained to 1 H/Nb, for films below 6 nm and mechanical stress of up to -10 GPa is achieved.[5]
The yield stress can also be affected by alloying.[6] In this presenation we study the stress-development upon hydrogen loading in niobium-iron films of differing compositions. Films of different thickness were prepared by argon-cathode beam sputtering. Electrochemical hydrogen loading was performed during in-plane stress and in-situ XRD-measurements. By alloying the yield stress is shifted to much higher values. This will be discussed with respect to the Hall-Petch relation and the lattice coherency.
