Extensive NMR measurements of the proton relaxation times have been performed on low (i.e., α-phase) and intermediate (i.e., α´-phase) hydrogen concentrations in TiCr2Hx with both the hexagonal Cl4 and cubic Cl5 Laves structures. The relaxation times indicate rapid diffusion rates above 200 K for all the TiCr2Hx 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 Cl4 structure.
