Abstracts

EN

We study the valence band modifications of in-situ prepared nano- and polycrystalline Pd-Zr alloy thin films using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results were compared with valence bands calculated by ab initio methods. Furthermore, hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics under pressure of about 570 mbar were studied in Pd covered nanocrystalline ZrPd₂ alloy thin film. Results showed that modifications of the valence band of the nanocrystalline alloy thin film could significantly influence on hydrogen absorption and desorption process.
