This is the second volume in the NATO ASI series dealing with the
topic of hydrogen in solids. The first (V. B76, Metal Hydrides)
appeared five years ago and focussed primarily on crystalline
phases of hydrided metallic systems. In the intervening period, the
amorphous solid state has become an area of intense research
activity, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic, e.g.
semiconducting, systems. At the same time the problem of storage of
hydrogen, which motivated the first ASI, continues to be important.
In the case of metallic systems, there were early indications that
metallic glasses and disordered alloys may be more corrosion
resistant, less susceptible to embrittlement by hydrogen and have a
higher hydrogen mobility than ordered metals or intermetallics. All
of these properties are desirable for hydrogen storage. Subsequent
research has shown that thermodynamic instability is a severe
problem in many amorphous metal hydrides. The present ASI has
provided an appropriate forum to focus on these issues.
