The topic of hydrogen in an on metals and alloys is important in a number ofdisciplines
including solid-state physics materials science physical chemistry and energy technology.
This volume treats the dynamics of hydrogen in intermetallic compounds surface properties
kinetics and applications of metal hydrides in energy technology. In addition selected
experimental methods are described. The introductory chapter will enable non-specialists to
gain an overall picture of the field and to appreciate the relevant scientific issue. The
companion volume Hydrogene in Intermetallic Compounds I was published as Vol. 63 of Topics in
Applied Physics.
