1. 1. Hydrogen Absorption in Metal Hydrides : Transmission of light in relation to hydrogen concentration and site occupancy of ultrathin vanadium films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : David Sörme; [2022]
   Keywords : metal hydrides; iron-vanadium superlattice; hydrogen; hydrogen site occupancy; hydrogen concentrationm; hydrogen storage;

   Abstract : In this study the effect of hydrogenation on the optical properties in the wavelength range 400-1023 nm of an ultrathin iron-vanadium superlattice is investigated. Specifically, mea- surements of transmission are performed under different states of hydrogenation, along with measurements of absolute hydrogen concentration and hydrogen site occupancy. READ MORE

3. 2. Correlating Photoconductivity with Photochromism in Oxygen-containing Rare-earth Metal Hydride Thin Films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

   Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
   Keywords : Rare-earth metal hydride; Thin film synthesis; Thin film characterization; Optical properties; Electrical properties; Chemical composition; Photochromic materials; Photoconductivity;

   Abstract : Scientists have recently discovered simultaneous photoconductivity and photochromism (i.e., optical switching upon light exposure) of oxygen-containing rare-earth metal hydrides (REMHO). A deep understanding of these extraordinary optical and electrical properties can open the door to advanced technological uses such as smart windows. READ MORE

4. 3. Electric Transport of Rare-earth Metal Oxy-hydride Thin Films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik; Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Suraya Kazi; [2021]
   Keywords : Photochromism; Photoconductivity; Rare-earth Metal Oxy-hydride; Electric Transport; Photodarkening; Yttrium Oxy-hydride;

   Abstract : In this project, I investigate the photoconductivenature of photochromic rare-earth metal oxy hydrides (REMHO). Such materials have received increasingscientific attention since they show a color-neutralphotochromic effect that can be applied, e.g., in smartwindows or chromogenic devices. READ MORE

5. 4. Photoconductivity in rare earth metal-oxy-hydrides

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

   Author : Félix Treuil-Dussouet; [2020]
   Keywords : Photoconductivity;

   Abstract : In this project the evolution of resistivity under light exposition in materials like rare earth metal-oxy-hydrides is studied. These materials observe a decrease of the resistance when exposed under the light of a 19,5 W power lamp, and slowly tend to return to their initial resistance. READ MORE

6. 5. Preparation and characterization of a metal hydride electrode

   University essay from Oorganisk kemi

   Author : Petter Tammela; [2012]
   Keywords : metal hydride; electrodes; cyclic voltammetry; chronopotentiometry; XRD;

   Abstract : Metal hydrides are used as anode material in nickel metal hydride batteries and are of particular interest because of the potential to be a part of energy systems completely involving renewable sources (e.g. solar power, wind power etc.). READ MORE
