The increased interest in metal-hydrogen interactions has led to the application of a large variety of experimental techniques for the study of these systems. Numerous data have been acquired during the last decade on the bulk and surface properties of metal hydrides. Yet, stimulating problems related to this research field still remain. In this chapter three newly developed experimental techniques adapted to the research of hydrogen-metal systems are presented. One of these techniques (time-of-flight analysis of direct surface recoils) deals with hydrogen-surface interactions. The second technique (nuclear resonant scattering of gamma rays) is related to bulk properties of binary and intermetallic hydrides. The third experimental method (thermal desorption spectroscopy) involves both bulk and surface properties of these compounds. In the following sections, each of these methods is described. The basic physical principles underlying the technique and the experimental setup and data interpretation are discussed. Recent developments achieved by the application of the method to hydrogen-metals research are then reviewed. Some possible future applications and prospects conclude each of the sections. |
