Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The vacancy formation and recovery phenomena during hydrogenation and dehydrogenation in La(Ni,Cu)5+x were investigated. The positron lifetime increased upon hydrogenation and dehydrogenation in all samples which we synthesized. However, its increment was suppressed with increasing of the deviation from the stoichiometry. X-ray diffraction results showed that the lattice misfit decreased and concentration of dumbbell pairs increased with increasing of the deviation from the stoichiometry. Therefore, it suggests that the vacancy formation was suppressed by smaller lattice misfit and/or the vacancy recovery was enhanced by increase of concentration of dumbbell pairs.
