Hydrogen diffusion behavior in titanium-chromium hydrides with laves structures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5349356
Extensive NMR measurements of the proton relaxation times have been performed on low (i.e., ..cap alpha..-phase) and intermediate (i.e., ..cap alpha..-phase) hydrogen concentrations in TiCr/sub 2/H/sub x/ with both the hexagonal C14 and cubic C15 Laves structures. The relaxation times indicate rapid diffusion rates above 200 K for all the TiCr/sub 2/H/sub x/ phases; however, large differences in the diffusion activation energies are observed. This behavior is associated with the hydrogen interstitial site occupancies and diffusion pathways becoming restricted in the C14 structure.
