Description
This lecture directly follows the one on reflectometry and will introduce, examples of characterising hydrogen storage materials with these methods. The focus will be on finite size, proximity and strain effects in coatings and thin films. In particular, neutrons are very powerful in detecting light elements, via deuterium hydrogen isotop variation, in the presence of heavy ones and provide key information on phase formation as well as the effects mentioned above. The focus in this lecture will be on the application of neutron reflectometry to address single crystalline and amorphous thin film hydrogen systems under in-situ loading.
