Description

The electronic interactions of hydrogen in a host metal lattice have been studied with synchrotron-radiation photoemission for low-x solid solution phases of ScH/sub x/, YH/sub x/, and V/sub 0.75/Nb/sub 0.25/H/sub x/ for 0.15< or =x< or =0.25. For each system, a single well-defined hydrogen-induced feature is observed 5 eV below the Fermi level due to the local interaction of H with bonding metal-derived states, in agreement with linear combination of atomic orbitals save no evidence for hydride formation induced by cleaving the α-phase hydride samples
