Abstract

This paper reports the first real time observation of electrochemical loading of deuterium in palladium as observed through neutron diffraction. The development of the β-phase from the parent a-phase of PdDx is studied as a function of loading time. The value of x is seen to saturate at 0.55 (±0.05). Estimated value of the diffusion constant for deuterium is 5(±2) × 10-7 cm2 s-1.
