The Segregation of deuterium to surfaces and grain boundaries in nickel has been studied using SIMS (secondary ion mass spectroscopy) techniques. Conditions for optimizing thedetection of deuterium are discussed. Segregation of deuterium to external surfaces and grain boundaries was shown to occur at temperatures near 300 K. The Segregation of sulfur to the external surfaces was also studied an co-segregation effects for sulfur and deuterium were examined. In the presence of sulfur, segregation of deuterium to surfaces was shown to occur at temperatures as high as 845 K.
