Abstract
Surface analyses by XPS depth profiling have been carried out for glas sy ribbons of La-Ni-Al alloys to reveal correlations between the surfa ce compositions and hydrogen absorption-desorption properties. It has been confirmed that the presence of Ni constituent at the surface regi on of a ribbon is indispensable for promoting its reactivity with hydr ogen.
