Despite being the simplest element, hydrogen (H) exhibits complex behavior in materials
due to its unique ambipolar character. In particular, it is recognized as one of the most …

Oxidation of metals by water generates hydrogen which can enter the solid causing serious
degradation of its mechanical properties and may also influence the corrosion rate. The …

Thin films of rare-earth metal oxyhydrides, such as yttrium oxyhydrides (YH 3− 2 x O x), show
a photochromic effect where the transparency of the films decreases reversibly upon …

In positive muon spin rotation and relaxation (μ+ SR) spectroscopy, positive muons (μ+)
implanted into solid oxides are conventionally treated as immobile spin probes at interstitial …

Hydrogen diffusion through the oxide grown on Zr alloys by aqueous corrosion processes
plays a critical role in determining the rate of hydrogen pickup (HPU) which can result in …

The local binding and migration behavior of the proton defect in cubic yttria-stabilized
zirconia (YSZ) is studied by first-principles calculations and muon-spin spectroscopy (μ SR) …

Thin films and pn junctions for solar cells based on the absorber materials Cu (In, G a) Se 2
and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 were investigated as a function of depth using implanted low energy …

Muon spin rotation has long been recognized as one of the few methods for experimentally
accessing the electronic state of dilute hydrogen (H) in semiconductors and dielectrics …

We report a comprehensive muon spin rotation (μ SR) study of the prototypical
magnetoelectric antiferromagnet Cr 2 O 3. We find the positively charged muon (μ+) …

Despite the fact that unusually high power generation attributed to proton conduction has
been reported recently for nanostructured yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) little is known about …
