Pinpointing hydrogen isotopes in titanium hydride nanofilms
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo combined nuclear reaction analysis and ion channeling to locate hydrogen and deuterium atoms in titanium hydride nanofilms. They found that 11% of the hydrogen present was at octahedral sites, with the remainder at tetrahedral sites. In comparison, deuterium was only found at tetrahedral sites. This understanding will allow control of hydride nanofilm properties to discover new hydrogen-induced phenomena.
