Description

Measurements of the effect of pressure on the elastic constants of pure and hydrogenated single crystals of V and Nb53Ta47 are reported. For both samples dC'/dP was found to decrease when hydrogen was added. The qualitative features of this behaviour can be explained by the proposal that an increase occurs in the tetragonal distortion around the H interstitial when the atomic volume decreases. (author)
