(MgH2) have been investigated by in situ time-resolved powder X-ray diffraction (PXD).
Deactivated samples, ie air exposed, are investigated in order to focus on the effect of
magnesium oxide (MgO) surface layers, which might be unavoidable for magnesium (Mg)-
based storage media for mobile applications. A curved position-sensitive detector covering
120∘ in 2θ and a rotating anode X-ray source provide a time resolution of 45s and up to 90 …
