Abstract
We studied by neutron spectroscopy, and for temperatures from 10 to 300 K, the local vibrations of hydrogen interstitials in two niobium-based alloys containing 5 and 20 at.% molybdenum (Nb 0.95Mo 0.05H 0.03 and Nb 0.8Mo 0.2H 0.05). Within experimental accuracy, the vibrational energies agree with those of hydrogen in pure niobium. This indicates that the hydrogen in the two alloys occupies tetrahedral interstitial sites. At 10 K, the values of the vibrational energies show a complete hydrogen precipitation in the Nb 0.95Mo 0.05H 0.03 alloy and no hydrogen precipitation in the Nb 0.8Mo 0.2H 0.05 alloy. The fact that the hydrogen in the latter alloy was still in solid solution means that the molybdenum alloy components lead to an increase of the solubility limit of the hydrogen.
