Abstract

Structural phase transitions in highly concentrated hydrogen solid solutions ZrV2Dx (4 < x < 5) were studied in the wide temperature range 1.5–310 K. Phase transitions associated with hydrogen ordering in the lattice were found to occur in the concentration range 4.0 < x < 4.5. Contrary to the previously studied low-concentrated solid solutions (with x < 4), ordering of hydrogen atoms in this case is accompanied by a variation in their coordination during the formation of a superstructure. It is established that this effect is due to the short-range interaction between hydrogen atoms. A new type of hydride superstructure with stoichiometric composition ZrV2D5 was found. Solid solutions with x > 4.5 were established to decompose at low temperatures. The phase diagram is constructed.
