Reply to 'Comments on "evidence of the hydrogen release mechanism in bulk MgH2"'

Abstract

In a comment on our Article "Evidence of the hydrogen release mechanism in bulk MgH2", Surrey et al. assert that the MgH2 sample we studied was not MgH2 at any time but rather MgO; and that the transformation we observed was the formation of Kirkendall voids due to the outward diffusion of Mg. We address these issues in this reply.
