Abstract

A new method has been developed to synthesize compact yttriumtrihydride by making use of a thin film technique. For electrical measurements yttrium films of typically 500 nm thickness are covered under UHV conditions by a 5 nm thick palladium overlayer which consists of electrically disconnected islands. Loading of these films with hydrogen up to the trihydride phase can then be done ex-situ in a reasonably short time (around 20-40 h) by applying gas pressures of about 60 × 10
