HYDROGEN TRAPPING

摘要

A method of trapping hydrogen in a material (1) which comprises an epitaxially-grown hydrogen-trapping substance forming a hydrogen-trapping region, the method comprising bombarding the material (1) with hydrogen atoms substantially all of which have an energy in the range of approximately 0.05 eV to approximately 0.1 eV, and allowing at least some of the hydrogen atoms to interact with the hydrogen-trapping region, effecting trapping of at least some of the hydrogen atoms in the hydrogen-trapping region of the material (1).
