title: Effect of alloying magnesium with chromium and vanadium on hydrogenation kinetics studied with neutron reflectometry.
abstract: The effect of chromium and vanadium alloying on the hydrogenation of a magnesium thin film is studied by neutron reflectometry. Immediate formation of a blocking MgD(2) layer is observed in pure Mg, however in the alloyed film deuteration is rapid and almost completely homogeneous.
