“…According to the phase rule, only single-phase fields are possible in the equilibrium T -P diagrams of binary Me-H systems, but the composition of every phase can vary continuously with T and P within the corresponding field. At temperatures up to 350 • C, the composition of the ε -hydride is close to FeH independent of the pressure [11,17,18], while at higher [20]. 1, 2 are the midpoints of anomalies of the electrical resistance isotherms measured at increasing and decreasing pressure, respectively (figure 2(a)); 3, 4 are the midpoints of anomalies of the isobars of electrical resistance and magnetic permeability measured at increasing and decreasing temperature, respectively (figure 2(b)); 5, 6 are the formation [11,12] and decomposition [13] pressure of ε -FeH at room temperature from measurements in diamond anvil cells.…”
