“…The propagation of flux and concentration modulations through a homogeneous foil was detailed in a previous paper /4/ in which the possible surface processes (adsorption, desorption, dissociation, association, solution and de-solution) are described by the single re-* Presented at the International Symposium on Metal -Hydrogen Systems, Fundamentals and Applications, Stuttgart, FRG, September [4][5][6][7][8][9]1988 (1) There, the approach is to link fluxes with pressures by a series of linear equations in which the diffusion and solubility coefficients appear as constants. Conditions in the bulk solid, at each surface, and in the entry and exit chamber are each described by matrices, their product giving the required vector relationship of output to input.…”
