UTILIZATION OF NMR IN DETERMINATION OF HYDROGEN STRUCTURE IN SOLIDS.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods offer many opportunities for obtaining information on structures and atom locations in metal-hydrogen systems. A variety of experimental techniques may be utilized, including both steady-state (wide-line) and transient (pulsed) measurements. These techniques may be applied to study the NMR of all three hydrogen isotopes (**1H,**2D, **3T) as well as the NMR of a considerable assortment of transition metal species (e. g. , **4**5Sc, **5**1V, **8**9Y, **9**3Nb, **1**3**9La). This review concentrates on the utilization of wide-line methods which yield parameters characterizing the steay-state interactions of nuclei with their environment.
