Study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of hydrogen in Pd-based alloys. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5413380
Experimental projects completed for this reporting period include: (1) thermodynamics of Pd-Cu-H solid slutions; (2) thermodynamics of ternary palladium-rhodium-hydrogen solid solutions; (3) effects of surface contamination in the measured hydrogen solubilities of metals; and (4) thermodynamics of nickel-hydrogen system. In addition to these experimental studies, the following theoretical projects were completed: (1) hydrogen-monovacancy interactions in the noble metals; (2) hydrogen diffusion in aluminium; (3) thermodynamics and diffusivity of hydrogen in well-annealed and deformed iron; and (4) analysis of a trapping model for the diffusion of hydrogen in metals.
