Hydrogen in Intermetallic Compounds I, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1988 Electronic, Thermodynamic, and Crystallographic Properties, Preparation Coll. Topics in Applied Physics, Vol. 63

Hydrogen in Intermetallics I is the first of two volumes aiming to provide atutorial introduction to the general topic of hydrogen in intermetallic compounds and alloys. In the present volume, a series of chapters, each written by two experts in the field, gives a comprehensive review of thefollowing areas: -preparation of intermetallics and their hydrides on a laboratory and industrial scale; - thermodynamic properties; -crystal and magnetic structure; - electronic properties; - heat of formation models; - magnetism and superconductivity.

Preparation of intermetallics and hydrides.- Thermodynamics of intermetallic Compound-Hydrogen Systems.- Crystal and magnetic structures of ternary metal hydrides: A comprehensive review.- Electronic properties.- Heat of formation models.- Magnetic properties, Mössbauer effect and superconductivity.
