Thermal diffusion of tritium and protium in alpha phase of zirconium

  • 1. Kyushu Univ., Fukuoka (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

Heat of transport Q* of hydrogen isotopes in the α-phase of Zr have been measured in temperature regions from 623K to 673K for H and from 523K to 623K for T by analyzing the redistribution process under a thermal gradient. An isotope mass dependence of Q* has not been unequivocally established though a tendency that Q*(H)>Q*(T) has been observed. These data have been discussed on the basis of the biased-jump diffusion model, and a large negative bias effect has been pointed out as characteristics of Q* of hydrogen isotopes in group-IV metals in comparison with the case of group-V metals
