Conclusions • 2 µm Mg and MgxTiy thin films were successfullydeposited on the quartz substrates using magnetron sputtering. • After the hydrogenation of pure Mg thin films in hydrogen atmosphere, in high pressure and high temperature, MgH2 thin films were successfully formed. • The MgTi thin film deposited without bias voltage and hydrided in high pressure and high temperature (p,T) at 320 0C for 6 hour transforms to MgH2.
