Abstract

The properties of strained superlattices can be studied in a tunable fashion by dissolving hydrogen interstitially in strain free Nb/Ta metal superlattices. We report on a first investigation of a Nb/Ta 20 Å superlattice loaded with hydrogen in-situ in a high temperature x-ray furnace. After hydrogen uptake the ± 1 satellite reflections show pronounced asymmetries, indicating a hydrogen density distribution which is modulated by the superlattice periodicity.
