2014 The hydride (or deuteride) is obtained in the ground state by radiofrequency discharge in a mixture of H2 (or D2) and metal vapor at a total pressure of about 10-2 torr. A selective excitation of the A 203A03/2,1/2 rotational levels is obtained by a pulsed dye laser. Lifetimes are obtained by sampling the fluorescent decay : 03C4 ~ 70 ns. Electric radiofrequency resonances between the ~-do...

Photochromic mono- and bilayered thin films of oxygen-containing isotope-labeled yttrium−hydride (i.e., protium deuterium) are synthesized via reactive Ar sputtering. Selected samples encapsulated with transparent diffusion barriers. Combining depth-resolved nondestructive ion beam-based techniques for composition optical spectrophotometry, material mobility in the during illumination over time...
