Measurements are described and the results presented for the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the electrical conductivity and for the magnetic susceptibility of Zr-Ni and Zr-Cu metallic glasses doped with hydrogen. Hydrogen is found to reduce both the effective electron diffusion constant and the screening of the Coulomb interaction which leads to a decrease in the conductivity, suppression of the superconducting transition temperature, and to an enhancement of the spin susceptibility at low temperatures.The relative contributions of the spin-orbit and the Maki-Thompson interaction to the magnetoresistivity are also depressed. It is shown that the theoretical models of weak localization and Coulomb interaction provide both a good qualitative and quantitative description of the anomalous temperature and field dependence of the measured properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
