Dynamics of hydrogen in Pr2Fe17H4 and Pr2Fe17H5

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We describe a study of the dynamics of hydrogen in Pr2Fe 17H4, where isolated hexagons formed by the interstitial tetrahedral (t) sites of the metal lattice are populated by mobile hydrogen atoms. An activation energy of 0.10 eV has been determined for a localized jump process involving the hopping of these hydrogen atoms among adjacent vertices of each hexagon, slightly lower than that for hydrogen hopping in Pr 2Fe17H5, where each hexagon is occupied by two hydrogen atoms.
