Thermodynamic properties, hysteresis behavior and stress-strain analysis of MgH2 thin films, studied over a wide temperature range

Using hydrogenography, we investigate the thermodynamic parameters and hysteresis behavior in Mg thin films capped by Ta/Pd, in a temperature range from 333 K to 545 K. The enthalpy and entropy of hydride decomposition, ?Hdes = ?78.3 kJ/molH2, ?Sdes = ?136.1 J/K molH2, estimated from the Van't Hoff analysis, are in good agreement with bulk...
