HYDROGEN IN PALLADIUM AND PALLADIUM ALLOYS

Over more than the past four decades, Ewald Wicke has been both a dire ct and indirect dominant personality within the overall area of resear ch of hydrogen in metals, including in particular the fields of study involved with hydrogen in palladium and palladium alloys. Professor Wi cke's influence stemmed in particular from extensive contributions, to gether with his group, to the central research areas of phase relation ships and hydrogen isotope diffusion. Also very important have been hi s editorial influences in regard to conference arrangements and public ations of proceedings. The present article is a revision of a contribu tion to a group of articles prepared for presentation to Professor Wic ke in Munster in October 1994 on the occasion of his eightieth birthda y.
