Thermal motion in palladium hydride studied by means of elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons
J Bergsma, JA Goedkoop - Physica, 1960 - Elsevier
A single crystal neutron diffraction investigation of electrolytically loaded palladium hydride
of composition PdH 0.63 confirms the NaCl-type arrangement found previously for the
material loaded from the gas phase. The root mean square displacements due to thermal
motion of the palladium and hydrogen atoms at room temperature are found to be 0.10±0.01
and 0.24±0.02 Å, respectively. Measurements of the total neutron scattering cross section as
a function of neutron energy and of the energy distribution of 0.004 eV neutrons scattered at …
