Effects of Atomic Ordering of Interstitial Hydrogen on the Physical Properties of Host Metals

Physicochemical data on the infl uence of interstitial atoms of hydrogen isotopes on the properties of face-centred cubic, body-centred cubic and hexagonal close-packed metals are reviewed on the basis of statisticalthermodynamic theory of long- and short-range atomic order. Examples of the application of metal—hydrogen alloys are given.
