Abstract
The complete set of elastic constants for Sc and ${\mathrm{ScD}}_{0.18}$ has been measured at room temperature. The results show that the addition of hydrogen to this rare-earth metal has a qualitatively different effect than the addition of hydrogen to transition metals such as palladium, vanadium, niobium, and tantalum. In the case of Sc all five elastic constants increase with the addition of hydrogen. The bulk modulus for ${\mathrm{ScD}}_{0.18}$ is 9.5% higher than that for Sc. The Debye temperature computed from the room-temperature elastic constants is 355 K for Sc and 371 K for ${\mathrm{ScD}}_{0.18}$.
