The thin-film palladium/hydrogen system was studied using a novel all optical method. Isotherms at room temperature (25 °C) were obtained for palladium films with different thicknesses. The measured isotherms included the α, α-to-β, and β phase regions. A decrease of the phase transition region was observed as the palladium film thickness was decreased. This optical method has good potential for use in studying the equilibrium and kinetic aspects of any thin-film/gas system.
