Publisher Summary This chapter discusses that Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory is
a remarkably complete theory of the superconducting state, and it raises the possibility to …

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is a spectroscopic technique in which neutrons are used to
probe the dynamics of atoms and molecules in solids and liquids. This book is the first, since …

Palladium hydride was discovered more than 150 years ago and remains one of the most-
studied interstitial metal hydrides because of the richness of its physical behaviours, which …

A study of the electronic band structure of the pailadium-hydrogen system was made using
the augmented-plane-wave method. The calculations were performed self-consistently for …

Hydrogen can behave as an alkaline metal or a halogen and can react with nearly all
elements of the periodic table. This explains the large number of metal hydrides. Since T …

The vibration spectra of α and β-phase PdH (D) x have been measured by neutron inelastic
scattering. From a detailed analysis of the spectra, we conclude that the potentials for …

Results of an experimental study of palladium nanojunctions in a hydrogen environment are
presented. Two new hydrogen-related atomic configurations are found, which have …

The electronic structure, stability, electron-phonon coupling, and superconductivity of the
nonoxide perovskite MgCNi 3 are studied using density functional calculations. The band …

We have used the full-potential linearized-augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method to
perform electronic-structure calculations for the palladium-hydrogen system in the rocksalt …

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of hydrogen in face-centered cubic palladium have
been calculated considering nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) at finite temperatures. The …
