Hydrogen relaxation in lutetium

Abstract: The internal friction and the dynamic modulus have been measured between 4.2 and 470 K in the system α-LuH(D)x, with x = 0 to 0.2. In well annealed specimens, an (H)-peak is observed at 215-225 K, which has a linearly x-dependent amplitude and exhibits an isotope effect on its activation energy and relaxation time. It is attributed to a Snoek-like relaxation of H-H pairs reorienting in the Lu-lattice. The isotope effect is interpreted in a model of tunnelling from different excited levels for LuHx and LuDx.

“…A similar value for the activation energy was obtained from resistancerelaxation measurements after quenching or low-temperature electron irradiation reported to be 1 s-l a t the two respective temperatures above [7]. This means that, for both isotopes, not only the activation energy but also the absolute value of the internal friction frequency exhibits (within experimental accuracy) good agreement with the frequency v as determined from our present measurements.…”

“…Such an ordering process can cause an elastic relaxation if the strain fields of the H atoms involved superpose non-linearly (similarly as in a Zener relaxation). It should, however, also be noted that a pair-formation (or dissolution) process is, a t least, difficult t o understand in view of the essentially linear H-concentration dependence of the relaxation amplitude which is reported by the authors of [7].…”

“…We point out i) that although the background increased with increasing frequency, the magnitude of the relaxation peaks did not, and ii) that the Q −1 max values obtained in a previous vibrating-reed study [11] on hcp YH x polycrystals fall between the present data for the c-axis and b -axis crystals. Figure 3 shows an essentially linear relationship between Q −1 max and H concentration, which agrees with previous results for hcp YH x [10], [11] and the related system LuH x [15], and only apparently contradicts a Zener relaxation of H pairs if their binding enthalpy is considered [1], [14]. The new aspect of the data in fig.…”

“…A frequency-and temperature-dependent structure is found near these temperatures in internal friction studies. 42 Relatively large systematic differences on warming and cooling ͑and hysteresis͒ were described above for the a-axis crystals above T tr . The c-axis LuD 0.005 data in Figs.…”
