Abstract

Three 100 nm-thick Mgx(TM)1-x (TM = Ni and Ti) composition spread thin films having compositional variation 0.4<x<0.95 and capped with a 5 nm-thick Pd layer were deposited in combinatorial electron-beam (e-beam) deposition chamber. Crystallinity of the films was characterized by scanning x-ray diffraction (XRD) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hydrogen absorption and desorption of the films were monitored with an infrared (IR) camera that could image a full area of the films. The observed changes in IR intensity due to hydrogen absorption/desorption demonstrated sensitivity of the method to the differences in compostion, microstructure and type of TM.
