Abstract

Using an extra-orbital model within a generalized “spd” tight-binding approximation, we calculate the chemical binding energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms in palladium within the infinite dilution limit. The parameters of the calculation are based on an electronic structure model of hydrogen in palladium built from a Slater-Koster fit to first principles bands structure for the host, combined with one s extra-orbital for each isolated hydrogen atom. We find that cluster of hydrogen cannot form in agreement with inelastic neutron-scattering in α-palladium hydride.
