...It's possible that results might vary significantly from one
batch of TiH2 to another, as it's a nonstoichiometric compound.
A further complication is that apparently TiH2 proper is unstable at room
temperature -- unless stored in a hydrogen atmosphere, it will outgas
hydrogen until it's down to TiH1.5 or thereabouts. (This may mean that
commercial "TiH2" is really TiH1.5.)
