The diffusion coefficients of hydrogen and deuterium were measured in the solid solution phase Fe /SUB 0.5/ Ti /SUB 0.5/ H /SUB x/ /D /SUB x/ (x<0.03) in an absorption/desorption experiment with palladium coated bulk samples. The pressure and temperature ranges covered were 1 to 120 bar and 370 to 800 K, respectively. For x ..-->.. 0, the diffusion coefficients obey Arrhenius laws. They are (in cm/sup 2/ per second with T in K): 10.1 X 10/sup -4/ X exp(-5890/T) and 5.5 X 10/sup -4/ X exp(-5710/T) for hydrogen, 8.2 X 10/sup -4/ X exp(-6080/T) and 5.5 X 10/sup -4/ X exp(-5980/T) for deuterium, as measured during absorption and desorption, respectively. The pick-up and release of hydrogen by uncoated samples was controlled predominantly by surface effects.
