In-situ powder diffraction was used to study the annealing of dislocations in the archetypal hydrogen absorbers Pd and LaNi5. The relationship between dislocations and trapped hydrogen was explored using thermally induced desorption. It was found that the dislocations in Pd caused by hydrogen absorption anneal over a wide range of temperatures and that although they start to anneal below 250 $^circ$C, temperatures well above 750 $^circ$C are required to fully anneal the metal. It was shown that allowing further time at lower temperatures does not further anneal the metal. It is suggested that this is due to dislocation tangling and pinning, causing different temperatures to be required for different pinning defects. It was found that hydrogen trapped in LaNi5 is released in a wide range of temperatures and it was therefore concluded that hydrogen is trapped in the dislocation strain field and dislocation core as well as vacancies. The direct comparison of deuterium release and dislocation density showed no correlation, in agreement with previous indirect comparisons. Dislocations in LaNi5 were shown to anneal at temperatures as low as 150 $^circ$C, in contrast to previous reports which suggested more than 500 $^circ$C was required. This lower annealing temperature for dislocations at least partly explains why low temperature ageing increases the pressure hysteresis in hydrogen cycled LaNi5.

Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques are commonly used to machine, analyse and image materials at the micro- and nanoscale. However, FIB modifies the integrity of the sample by creating defects that cause lattice distortions. Methods have been developed
to reduce FIB-induced strain, however these protocols need to be evaluated for their effectiveness. Here we use non-destructive Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging to study the in situ annealing of FIB-milled gold microcrystals. We simultaneously measure two non-collinear reflections for two different crystals during a single annealing cycle, demonstrating the ability to reliably track the location of multiple Bragg peaks during thermal annealing. The thermal lattice expansion of each crystal is used to calculate the local temperature. This is compared to thermocouple readings, which are shown to be substantially affected by thermal resistance. To evaluate the annealing process, we analyse each reflection by considering facet area evolution, cross-correlation maps of displacement field and binarised morphology, and average strain plots. The crystals strain and morphology evolve with increasing temperature, which is likely to be caused by the diffusion of gallium in gold below ~280{deg}C and the self-diffusion of gold above ~280{deg}C. The majority of FIB-induced strains are removed by 380-410degree C, depending on which reflection is being considered. Our observations highlight the importance of measuring multiple reflections to unambiguously interpret material behaviour.
Kinetics parameters for three anion exchange reactions - Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-Cl, Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-SO4 and Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-VOx - were obtained by in situ synchrotron study. The first and the second ones are two-stage reactions; the first stage
is characterized by the two-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction following deceleratory nucleation and the second stage is a one-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction also with a decelerator nucleation effect. In the case of exchange NO3 - Cl host anions are completely released, while in the case of NO3 - SO42 the reaction ends without complete release of nitrate anions. The exchange of Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-VOx is one-stage reaction and goes much slower than the previous two cases. It is characterized by a one stage two-dimensional reaction and nucleation considered to be instantaneous in this case. As a result, at the end of this process there are two crystalline phases with different polyvanadate species, presumably V4O124 and V2O74, nitrate anions were not completely released. The rate of replacing NO3 anions by guest ones can be represented as Cl > SO42 > VOxy.
The dissociative chemisorption of molecular nitrogen on clean lanthanide surfaces at ambient temperature and low pressure is explored. In-situ conductance measurements track the conversion from the lanthanide metals to the insulating lanthanide nitri
des. A small partial pressure of oxygen ($sim 10^{-8}$ mbar) is shown to inhibit the nitridation of lanthanides at $10^{-4}$ mbar of N$_2$. The rate of nitridation as a function of nitrogen pressure is measured at low pressure for a series of lanthanide elements, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, ytterbium and praseodymium. Exposure of the lanthanide surfaces to both N$_2$ and H$_2$ results in the formation of NH$_3$.
Hydrogen can penetrate reversibly a number of metals, occupy the interstitial sites and cause large expansion of the crystal lattice. The question discussed here is whether the kinetics of the structural response matches hydrogen absorption. We show
that thin Pd and CoPd films exposed to a relatively rich hydrogen atmosphere (4% H2) inflate irreversibly, demonstrate the controllable shape memory, and duration of the process can be orders of magnitude longer than hydrogen absorption. The dynamics of the out-of-equilibrium plastic creep is well described by the Avrami - type model of the nucleation and lateral domain wall expansion of the swelled sites.
In epitaxially strained ferroelectric thin films and superlattices, the ferroelectric transition temperature can lie above the growth temperature. Ferroelectric polarization and domains should then evolve during the growth of a sample, and electrosta
tic boundary conditions may play an important role. In this work, ferroelectric domains, surface termination, average lattice parameter and bilayer thickness are simultaneously monitored using in-situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction during the growth of BaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices on SrTiO$_3$ substrates by off-axis RF magnetron sputtering. The technique used allows for scan times substantially faster than the growth of a single layer of material. Effects of electric boundary conditions are investigated by growing the same superlattice alternatively on SrTiO$_3$ substrates and 20nm SrRuO$_3$ thin films on SrTiO$_3$ substrates. These experiments provide important insights into the formation and evolution of ferroelectric domains when the sample is ferroelectric during the growth process.
