New Developments and Opportunities for NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) in Metal-Hydrogen Systems

摘要

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods continue to make strong contributions to understanding crystal structure and atom locations and electronic structure in metal-hydrogen systems, as well as the changes that occur in these properties at structural and electronic phase transitions. NMR methods also afford an almost uniquely powerful approach to the study of hydrogen motion (diffusion). In this brief survey some recent developments in experimental methods and in types of systems studied are reviewed, and the consequences and opportunities for further investigation which these developments afford are outlined.
