Abstract

The hydrogen diffusion constant D in the hydrogenated quasicrystalline alloy ZrCuNiAl has been determined using the technique of NMR diffusion in a static fringe field of a superconducting magnet. The diffusion constant of partially quasicrystalline Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5 exhibits a significant decrease with increasing hydrogen-to-metal ratio H/M, owing to creation of defects in the lattice during hydrogen loading, which dominates over the site-blocking effect. The actual alloy structure—the amorphous, icosahedral or approximant—appears to be less important for the hydrogen diffusivity.
