Density Functional Theory Studies Of Hydrogen/Nitrogen Super-Saturation Mechanisms In Transition Metals Andmetal Hydrides/Nitrides

Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop a DFT-based rate model for the absorption of Hydrogen in Palladium alloys and nitrogen in vanadium alloys. The results will give insight into how super-saturation affects the kinetics of absorption of these species. The local expansion of the lattice at high concentrations is thought to locally alter the energetics of binding, which has the potential to further alter the kinetics of diffusion process, which may lead to interesting effects.
