Abstract

Using quasielastic neutron scattering, we have studied the dynamics of hydrogen and deuterium in crystalline Pd9Si2. For both isotopes, a localized motion was found which takes place between two energetically different sites. For the hydrogenated sample, the spatial and temporal parameters characterizing this motion are derived. The results are in agreement with neutron powder diffraction and neutron vibrational spectroscopic measurements.
