Abstract
A review is presented of some recent applications of neutron vibra-tional spectroscopy to the study of disordered metal-hydrogen systems. The examples discussed cover a range of systems from “simple” dilute solutions in bcc or fcc metals to amorphous alloy hydrides. It is shown that neutron inelastic scattering studies of the vibrational density of states provide a powerful and sensitive probe of the local potentials and bonding sites of hydrogen in metals and often reveal critical information on the novel microscopic physical properties and behavior of disordered metals-hydrogen systems, including those influenced by interstitial or substitutional defects.
