Electronic structure and properties of hydrogen in metals

This book reports on research on the basic interactions among hydrogen, host metal atoms, intrinsic lattice defects, and electrons. It covers such subject areas as phase diagrams, spinodals, order-disorder transformations, thermodynamics, neutron scattering, elastic interactions, electronic structure, magnetic and hyperfine properties, superconductivity, diffusion, interaction with lattice defects, chemisorption, and catalysis. It discusses a variety of experimental and theoretical techniques and emphasizes the use of these techniques in probing the electronic structure and properties of metal-hydrogen systems. The book constitutes the proceedings of the ''International Symposium on the Electronic Structure and Properties of Hydrogen in Metals'' held in Virginia in 1982.
