Recent Studies of Intermetallic Hydrides

Abstract

In recent years a large number of disordered alloy systems have been studied as hydride-formers and hydrogen host materials. These fall into two general categories: (1) substitutional solid solutions, e. g., (Zr, Ti)— Mn₂, Zr(Fe, V)₂, etc., and (2) non-stoichiometric systems, e. g., ZrMn₂T_x where T = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni or Cu. In the latter materials a more accurate representation is as follows: Zr_1−yT_yMn_2−u T_u where y and u are quantities that may depend on the nature of T.
