Observation of low-frequency excitations of deuterium and hydrogen in niobium

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973

Description

Measurements of the dispersion curves on single crystals of NbD/sub 0.85/ and NbH/sub 0.82/ reveal two new excitations at hω = 18.4 and 10.8 meV. The positions of these excitations are independent of temperature and mass of the light atom, but the linewidth is broader in the α' solid-solution phase than in the β phase, and broader in the hydrogen system than in the deuterium system
