Abstract

The first hydrogen absorption pressure-composition isotherms (p-c-T) were measured in quasicrystalline Ti45Zr38Ni17. No evidence for a pressure plateau was found, indicating a distribution of energies for the hydrogen in interstitial sites. Fits to the p-c-T data confirmed this, giving energy peaks at -0.19 eV with a full width at half maximum (half-width) of 0.06 eV, and at -0.09 eV with a half-width of 0.08 eV. This is in contrast with the broad site energy distribution that is characteristic of a metallic glass. In agreement, fits to data taken from amorphous Ti45Zr27Ni20Si8 gave a single broad energy distribution at -0.10 eV with a half-width of 0.35 eV. Based on the weighted averages of the site energies for the pure components, the energies assigned to the tetrahedral sites in the Ti44Zr40Ni16 1/1 approximant phase are in qualitative agreement with the measured data for the quasicrystal, supporting a local structural similarity between these two phases. Almost all of the absorbed hydrogen can be desorbed at 650°C in one hour by pumping, without transforming the quasicrystal phase and without powdering the rapidly-quenched samples.
