Anelastic relaxation and spinodal decomposition in coherent metal-hydrogen systems

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Extending Cahn's description of spinodal decomposition, we derive kinetic equations for the density of dissolved hydrogen in metals by consideration of the longrange elastic interaction between the protons as given by Wagner and Horner. These equations are applied to the time dependent behaviour of the anelastic relaxation (Gorsky effect) and the spinodal decomposition in coherent metal-hydrogen systems.
