The Effect of Hydrogen Content on Ballistic Transport Behaviors in the Ni-Nb-Zr-H Glassy Alloys

The electronic transport behaviors of (Ni(0.39)Nb(0.25)Zr(0.35))(100−)(x)H(x) (0 ≤ x < 23.5) glassy alloys with subnanostructural icosahedral Zr(5)Nb(5)Ni(3) clusters have been studied as a function of hydrogen content. These alloys show semiconducting, electric current-induced voltage (Coulomb)...

Descripción
Sumario:The electronic transport behaviors of (Ni(0.39)Nb(0.25)Zr(0.35))(100−)(x)H(x) (0 ≤ x < 23.5) glassy alloys with subnanostructural icosahedral Zr(5)Nb(5)Ni(3) clusters have been studied as a function of hydrogen content. These alloys show semiconducting, electric current-induced voltage (Coulomb) oscillation and ballistic transport behaviors. Coulomb oscillation and ballistic transport occur at hydrogen contents between 6.7 and 13.5 at% and between 13.5 and 21.2 at%, respectively. These results suggest that the localization effect of hydrogen in the clusters plays an important role in various electron transport phenomena.
