| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a total-scattering measurement system, which enables us to observe both crystal structure and its disorder, and applied it to one of hydrogen-storing metals, nano-Pd. Consequently, we found that hydrogen absorption was accompanied by anisotropy in disorder form the Pd fcc-lattice. The results can be understood to mean that diffusible hydrogen prefers the Pd octahedral site to the tetrahedral, which suggest that the anisotropy is a key factor in hydrogen-storing properties.
