Hydrogen atoms in impurity-helium solids. Academic Article

abstract

• Electron spin resonance (ESR) is employed to study atomic impurities (H and D) stabilized in impurity-helium (Im-He) solids at 1.35-1.5 K. The kinetics of the low temperature tunneling exchange reactions (D+H2-->H+HD, D+HD-->H+D2) are investigated in Im-He samples containing several different mixtures of hydrogen and deuterium impurities. The ESR line structures help determine the local environment of atoms trapped in Im-He solids. High concentrations of atomic hydrogen stored in Im-He solids may ultimately find applications in energy storage, matrix-isolation spectroscopy, and studies of different quantum statistical effects.
