Abstract
An increase has been found in the electrical conductivity of electroch emically dehydrogenated palladium hydrides (deuterides) as compared wi th original samples of pure palladium in a wide temperature range (75- 300 K). It is shown that this effect is due to the suppression of the scattering of conduction electrons by phonons in the palladium lattice for T greater than or equal to theta (theta is the Debye temperature) in the presence of clusters of quasimetallic hydrogen (deuterium).
