The method of concentration pulses for studying hydrogen transport in solids

The method of concentration pulses is designed for investigating the kinetics of hydrogen transport in complex diffusion systems and allows one to choose the most probable transport model and determine the rate constants of processes influencing the kinetics, e.g., diffusion, adsorption, and desorption, capture to traps, etc. We describe the idea of the method, its experimental realization, and a procedure for processing the results which allows one to choose the most probable model and determine the desired rate constants.
