Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) of dilute paramagnetic ions in nonmagnetic metallic hydrides provides microscopic information about the hydrogen ions in the immediate vicinity of the impurity. By comparing ESR spectra for different host metals and several hydrogen/metal ratios, one can determine material properties including host lattice symmetry, phase boundaries and occupation of available sites by hydrogen. Examples are presented of ESR of dilute Er in group IIIB and IVB metal hydrides, demonstrating the sensitivity and versatility of ESR as a spectroscopic technique.
