摘要
By using three different Mg2Ni alloys to synthesise Mg2NiH4 an additional stabilisation mechanism of this system has been identified. It has been known for some time that the stacking faults at unit cell level in the lattice, microtwinning, stabilise this hydride thermodynamically, but the results in this study also reveal that the addition of free magnesium from the casting of the starting alloys have a similar stabilising effect on the hydride. It is also clear that these two stabilisation mechanisms are connected to each other, i.e. the microtwinning in Mg2NiH4 is dependent not only on the thermal history of the sample but also of the amount of free magnesium added at the casting of the Mg2Ni alloy, The extra magnesium acts as a stabilising dopant to the Mg2NiH4 system and in addition to this gives interesting colour effects of the low-temperature phase of Mg2NiH4.
