Kinetics of hydrogen absorption in transition metals and subsurface bonding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have modified the kinetic equations for the absorption of hydrogen in transition metals to include the effects of strong subsurface bonding. The new equations show that the subsurface, self-trapped hydrogen acts as a valve for the admission of hydrogen into the bulk. The explanation for a number of experimental facts, not well understood before, neatly follows. Discrepancies between theory and experiments found earlier are explained by the inclusion of the subsurface term into the kinetic equation.

Subsurface bonding of hydrogen in transition metals: dependence on surface orientation
The calculation of the surface-induced enhancement of the binding energy of hydrogen impurities in transition metals, previously reported for close-packed surfaces, are extended to open surfaces in the fee and bee structures. The effect is found to be stronger for close-packed surfaces than for open ones. Numerical values for the subsurface bonding energy in I% and Pd are given, from which chan...

The interaction of metallic surfaces with gases and liquids is an important problem of current interest. In particular, the interaction of hydrogen with the surface of transition metals has received considerable attention. In a series of experiments [l-3] it was shown that the uptake rate of hydrogen by Nb and Ta can be drastically modified by thin overlayers of Pd and Pt. Since an experimental...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...

The effect of alkyl substituents on the C-phenyl and/or the N-Phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. The predominant configuration in CHCl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the C-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the N-phenyl ring favor a trans c...
