On the thickness or the lattice spacing controlled palladium film system, hydrogen thermal desorption spectrum was measured.
To search for the α-state depth distribution, the α-state in the Pd(111) film was measured as the function of the Pd film thickness by thermal desorption spectrum. The population amount of the α-state kept increased with the film thickness beyond 10
3 monolayer. Our results indicate that the α-state formation can spread in the deep bulk region.
To control the Pd lattice spacing in the film, Pd-Ag superlattice was prepared. On the superlattice film with 2% of lattice expansion, a great amount of H was found to be absorbed in the film at high temperature region between 600 and 1200 K.
