<p>A method for charging a sample of either a permanent or reversible getter material with a high concentration of hydrogen while maintaining a base pressure below 10-4 torr at room temperature involves placing the sample of hydrogen getter material (11), overcharging the sample of getter material through conventional charging techniques to a high concentration of hydrogen (12), and then subjecting the sample of getter material to a low temperature vacuum bake-out process (14). Application of the method results in a reversible hydrogen getter which is highly charged to maximum capacities of hydrogen and which concurrently exhibits minimum hydrogen vapor pressures at room temperatures.</p> |
