The impact of elastic and microstructural constraints on structural phase transitions is investigated by using (10–300) nm Pd–H films of different microstructures. Hydrogen-induced stress mainly arises from the film's adhesion to a substrate. Stress changes the hydrogens' chemical potential μ H, modifying the hydride phase stability. Microstructural constraints channel stress release in films. A thermodynamic model is proposed to deduce the H–H interaction energy E HH and an effective critical temperature T c e f f of hydride formation in films. It allows for occasionally observed sloped plateaus of μ H below T c e f f. E HH (between 15 and 30 kJ/mol H) and T c e f f (340 K to 490 K) are reduced by up to 50% compared to bulk (E H H= 36.8 k J/m o l H, T c= 563 K), for all films. Concentration-dependent contributions of substrate-induced stress (of about (2–5) kJ/mol H) and microstructure (of about (5–8) kJ/mol H) are separated. For all films phase separation is still found at 300 K.
