Abstract

The crystal structure of the TiH0·74 alloy was studied by the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction technique in the pressure range to 30·5 GPa at temperatures to 630 K. A phase transformation to the (η + ω) two-phase state was found to occur above 7 GPa at room temperature, then (η+ω)-TiH0·74 remained stable up to P=30·5 GPa. Another phase transformation resulting in a single-phase state, ζ-TiH0·74, was found to occur upon heating (η+ω)-TiH0·74 above T ≈ 560 K. Both high-pressure phases, η and ζ, were indexed on the basis of the tetragonal sublattices of the Ti atoms with nearly the same specific volumes. It is assumed from the relation of the specific volumes that the hydrogen atoms occupy the tetrahedral interstices in the ζ-phase and the octahedral interstices in the η-phase.
