Deformation of Palladium Plates by a Small Stress during Hydrogen Absorption and Desorption
We observed an unexpected bending of a horizontally held palladium plate at
150C under a small external shearing stress. The deformation was
fastest at the nominal composition of PdH, which is in the
phase. We also observed that a plate warped back and forth
during a cycle of absorption and desoprtion of hydrogen when it was hung
vertically, which does not have a reasonable explanation.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
