Films of SrYb0.05Zr0.095O2.975 were prepared by sol-gel processing. Wa
ter vapour pressure/hydrogen composition isotherms were recorded ex-si
tu comprising pressures between 0 and 84.5 kPa and temperatures betwee
n 873 and 1073 K. Nuclear Resonance Reaction Analysis (NRRA) was used
to determine the hydrogen concentration and, in addition, depth profil
es of hydrogen concentration. The chemical potential of interstitial h
ydrogen in oxides could be determined; from its temperature dependence
thermodynamical constants were calculated. We observe two hydrogen fr
actions with a site energy difference of 20 kJ/mol. A size effect of t
he thermodynamic properties is observed below a thickness of 350 nm: n
anofilms exhibit higher solubility than bulk material.
