Preparation of yttrium hydride-based photochromic films by reactive magnetron sputtering

Photochromic oxygen-containing yttrium hydride has been synthesized using a two step process. The process consists of an initial sputter deposition of oxygen-free yttrium hydride YH

A mechanically switchable metal-insulator transition in Mg2NiH4 discovers a strain sensitive, nanoscale modulated resistivity connected to a stacking fault

as it reacted with oxygen was made possible by applying an aluminium capping layer with a low but non-zero oxygen permeability prior to air exposure. During the reaction, the visual appearance of the YH

Effect of oxidation on erosive wear behaviour of boiler steels

went from dark and opaque to transparent and yellowish. This transition was accredited incorporation of oxygen into the material, as shown through analysis with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) studies revealed an fcc structure both before and after oxygen exposure, with a lattice parameter that increased from 5.2 {\AA} to 5.4 {\AA} during the reaction. With the lattice parameter in the oxygen free YH
