Diffusion of hydrogen isotopes in the monohydride phase of Ti1−zVzHxDy studied by H and H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times

The ¹H and ²H spin-lattice relaxation times in the monohydride phase of the V-H-D and Ti_0.1V_0.9-H-D systems have been re-analyzed by Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound (BPP) equations with a log-normal distribution of correlation times, and the obtained parameters have been compared with those of the Ti_0.33V_0.67-H-D system. The mean activation energy and the magnitude of the distribution of H and D diffusions are discussed in relation to the metal compositions, the hydrogen site, the crystal structure and the [H]/[D] ratios.
