In the last five years, the study of metal hydrides has ex- panded enormously due to the potential technological importance of this class of materials in hydrogen based energy conversion schemes. The scope of this activity has been worldwide among the industrially advanced nations. There has been a consensus among researchers in both fundamental and applied areas that a more basic understanding of the properties of metal/hydrogen syster;, s is required in order to provide a rational basis for the selection of materials for specific applications. The current worldwide need for and interest in...
