Abstract:The thermally induced diffusion of atomic species in
noble gas
matrices was studied extensively in the 1990s to investigate low-temperature
solid-state reactions and to synthesize reactive intermediates. In
contrast, much less is known about the diffusion of atomic species
in quantum solids such as solid parahydrogen (p-H2). While
hydrogen atoms were shown to diffuse in normal-hydrogen solids at
4.2 K as early as 1989, the diffusion of other atomic species in solid
p-H2 has not been reported in the literature.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
