The proposal seeks support for an RA1A plus 50% technician to support a programme of neutron scattering from hydrogen in metal and other materials. The objectives in order of priority, area) Studies of the wave functions and energy levels of the excited states of protons in anharmonic potential wells in single crystals of metals and other crystals containing hydrogen.b) Diffraction, IINS (Incoherent Inelastic Neutron Scattering) and QENS (Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering) studies the state of hydrogen in metal hydride rechargeable batteries (LaNi5/H-Ni(OH)2).c) The development of the Reverse Monte Carlo method combined with diffuse neutron scattering measurements for the determination of the short range order of deuterons in solid yytrium, candium, thulium and similar systems and further studies of the interaction of hydrogen with the magnetic ions in Tm/H.d) SANS (Small Angle Neutron Scattering) studies of hydrogen (deuterium) trapping at dislocations in b.c.c and f.c.c metals.e) QENS studies of hydrogen diffusion in metallic systems (eg TaV2/H and Pd-Y/H) and proton-conducting ceramics of interest as solid electrolytes for fuel cell use.
