Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we aimed at developing new method for evaluating the hydrogen absorption and desorption properties in metals by employing mechanically vibrating method. In the initial stage, we have succeeded in developing high sensitivity hydrogen detection system using so called vibrating wire method. This method was however limited in metal wire sample, therefore in the next stage we focused on the quartz oscillator (QMC) that allowed us to measure small amount (typically micro gram order) of powder sample. The result obtained so far using QMC method showed potential application to detect the hydrogen absorption and desorption properties quantitatively even at low temperature range. These results will be summarized in a paper.
