Specific heat of LuH/sub x/ below 2 K

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6469554
Specific heat measurements on LuH/sub x/ (0.001 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.014) revealed a large anomaly above 0.1 K, which is thought to be due to H-tunneling. The results indicate tunneling energies of about 1 K and suggest the presence of strain induced interaction effects between different tunneling H-atoms. It is proposed that the H-atoms in Lu occupy a system of off center tunneling positions in interstitial octahedral sites.
