Abstract
The stress development in thin yttrium films during hydrogen loading was analyzed. A linear elastic model was used to predict the behavior of clamped thin films. The results show that the net stress in Y-H films remain comparably small which is the reason for the good mechanical stability of the Y-H switchable mirrors during H cycling.
