Solubility of H, D, and T in Pd and Pd/sub 0/ /sub 90/Ag/sub 0/ /sub 10/

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6269664
In this paper the solubility measurements of H, D, and T in Pd and of H and D in Pd/sub 0/ /sub 90/Ag/sub 0/ /sub 10/ in a large temperature range are presented. A simple analytic expression is given for the Sievert's constant which describes the equilibrium between hydrogen isotopes in the gas-phase and hydrogen isotopes absorbed in a metal at infinite dilution. This expression is used to predict the Sieverts' constant behavior of T in Pd from H and D data in Pd and these predictions are compared to the experimental observations. This expression is also used to predict the Sieverts' constant behavior of T in Pd/sub 0/ /sub 90/Ag/sub 0/ /sub 10/ for which data does not presently exists.
