Atomization of indium films under the action of atomic hydrogen

As it was discovered experimentally, the indium films thermal plated on the different sublayers were atomized with the formation of volatile hydrides. The InH molecules were noted to be in exiting state in the gas phase and on the surface of the treated sample. Their transition in the exiting state was followed by intensive luminescence over the films in visible band of the optical spectrum. The pointed light is not observed above the samples of massive indium crystals. The mechanism of heterogeneous chemical reactions on the gas - solid interface in the case of active gas phase have been refined by the performed investigations
