Abstract
MgH 2 powder samples have been irradiated with 45 keV B 3+ ions with different ion fluencies ranging from 10 12 to 10 16 ions/cm 2. Irradiation effects have been estimated by SRIM calculations. To characterize induced modifications and its influence on the hydrogen desorption behavior of MgH 2, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, particle size analysis and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) have been used. Changes of TPD spectra with irradiation conditions suggest that there are several mechanisms involved in desorption process which depend on defect concentration and their interaction and ordering. It has been demonstrated that the changes in near-surface area play the crucial role in hydrogen desorption kinetics. The results also confirm that there is possibility to control the thermodynamic parameters by controlling vacancies concentration in the systems.
