Abstract
A holographic image of the atomic arrangement in a PdH0.78 single crystal was recorded using spherical neutron waves generated by incoherent neutron-proton scattering (“internal source concept”). The resolution is sufficient to show the positions of single atomic nuclei on their respective lattice sites despite the delocalization of protons due to the weak bonding of hydrogen dissolved in palladium metal. Ways to overcome problems in the reconstruction of atomic positions related to the highly unfavorable sample shape are discussed. The technique offers possibilities for the investigation of various materials containing substantial amounts of hydrogen.
