Abstract
The electrical resistivity of alpha phase solid solutions Tm(H,D)x, with 0.005N, while the defects themselves recover in the region of the anomaly. A model is proposed implying a H-H (D-D) pair configuration as the stable low-temperature form, with a concentration- and isotope-mass dependent binding energy. These pairs are broken up under irradiation giving isolated atoms with a higher contribution to electrical resistivity. The latter form again into pairs just below the anomaly, where they are afterwards dissociated thermally.Keywords
