Abstract
Deuterium profiling was performed by secondary ion mass spectrometry ( SIMS) after cathodic charging, on palladium-coated pure iron, with an without ion sputtering of the surface before the palladium deposition. The influence of aging at 20, 250 and 400 degrees C on the deuterium concentration in the palladium coating and in the bulk material was in vestigated. Deuterium trapping occurred at the Pd/Fe interface and the deuterium concentration was a function of the amount of oxygen at the interface.
