A STUDY OF HYDROGEN DIFFUSION IN METALS BY MEANS OF THE d(d,p)T REACTION

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:4742224
Gas diffusion in the metals Au, Ag, and Cu by means of the d(d,p)T reaction has been studied for deuteron energies ranging from 10 to 60 kev. The following results were obtained: targets become saturated, and the saturation progress is exponential; the saturation value is independent of beam current density; proton yield is proportional to E/sup 4.5/, where E is the deuteron energy; sputtering has no effect on saturation yields; and density distribution is proportional to x/sup 3/, where x is the distance in the target material. A modified diffusion theory is proposed in which the diffusion coefficient is a function of beam current density and the atomic stopping power of the metal. (Dissertation Abst., Vol. 23, No. 7).
