Summary: | Cubic {alpha}-hydride (Fe/sub 0.8/Ni/sub 0.2/)TiH/sub chi/ is prepared with rather large dissolved hydrogen, chi=0.14, by cycling a number of times before freezing the sample along the desorption route. From Mossbauer studies, it is inferred that the hydrogen is uniformly distributed in the bulk and manifests itself, most markedly, in appreciably reducing the Debye temperature and the force constant experienced by Fe atoms. Estimate of volume per H- atom further supports the uniform bulk distribution of dissolved hydrogen. Using conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy, it is shown that there is no hydrogen rich phase at the surface of {alpha}-hydride. Instead, as a result of cycling, an appreciable amount of a ternary oxide phase is formed at the surface. |
