Abstract
The pressure effect on the recombination rate constant of H atoms in solid ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ has been studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. It has been found that the rate constant was independent of pressure up to 13 MPa in the temperature range below 4 K, while it significantly decreases with an increase in pressure in the range above 5 K. The low temperature behavior observed indicates that H atoms diffuse in solid ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ ``chemically'' through the $\mathrm{H}+{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{H}}_{2}+\mathrm{H}$ reaction not by the physical exchange mechanism.
