“…7. This is the same as that of Pd 15,16,21,28) 3.3 Relationship between p-c curve and magnetic susceptibility The end of the plateau region coincides with the disappearance of the susceptibility as seen in Figs. 2, 3 and 7.…”

“…It should be mentioned here that the rate of susceptibility reduction of palladium strongly depends on temperature. 15,30) This phenomenon suggests that the isotherms of magnetic susceptibility can be applied to determine the terminal points of the plateau region in p-c curves. …”

“…14) Such a change in susceptibility with absorbing hydrogen has been reported for palladium by several investigators. 8,15,16) The measurements can be carried out under a hydrogen atmosphere, although the Fermi level itself can not be determined by the susceptibility measurement.…”

Magnetic Properties of Palladium and Palladium&ndash;Platinum Alloy of Various Hydrogen Content

“…This behavior agrees with previous observations. 14,17) As for the Pd-Pt alloy, the hydrogen concentrations at which the magnetic susceptibility became zero was [H]/[Pd 0:92 Pt 0:08 ] ¼ 0:45. These hydrogen contents are consistent with the termination of plateau regions on pressure-composition isotherms.…”

“…Since these measurements are not always easy, only a few papers have been published on the magnetic properties of the Pd-H system. 14,17) In the present study, a simple device was developed for measuring the magnetic properties of Pd and Pd-Pt hydrides under hydrogen atmosphere at ambient temperature using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. The Pd-Pt system was selected because of its interesting properties, i.e.…”
