B. Hauer et al., STRUCTURE AND MICRODOMAIN STRUCTURE OF ORDERED NIOBIUM HYDRIDES AND DEUTERIDES BY MEANS OF NEUTRON-SCATTERING, Journal of alloys and compounds, 253, 1997, pp. 258-259
Extensive high-resolution vibrational density of slates measurements h
ave been performed on ordered niobium hydrides and deuterides by means
of neutron vibrational spectroscopy (NVS). The investigations show a
splitting of the hydrogen vibrational modes into a two-peak system in
the case of the epsilon-phase and a three-peak system in the case of t
he lambda-phase. These different peak systems can be assigned to diffe
rent hydrogen sites, which is further confirmed by neutron diffraction
(ND) data.
