Bach, P

In aged titanium tritide Ti /sup 3/ He/sub x/ thin films the /sup 3/He local critical concentration is slightly technology dependent and appears not to depend on the initial overall tritium concentration for x values lower than 1.5, which in fact results from a two-phase system: Ti and Ti /sup 3/H/sub 1.5/. As it is not possible to increase significantly the lifetime of titanium tritide films by simply lowering their tritium concentration, a different method is proposed, based on deutero-tritide films. This method can be extended to other tritides. Experimental values of /sup 3/He critical concentration in aged Ti /sup 3/H/sub x/ thin films are also determined.
