The classical diffusion theory cannot explain the temperature kink of the activation energy and the anomalous isotopic effect observed in the hydrogen atom migration in BCC metals. We present a theory based on the equations of quantum statistical mechanics that permits interpreting both these phenomena completely. We consider three possible mechanisms for an elementary act of hydrogen diffusion in metals: the over-barrier hopping, the thermally activated tunnel transition, and the tunneling due to decay of a local deformation near the hydrogen atom.
Keywords:
quantum statistical mechanics, hydrogen atom, metal, atom jump, tunneling, activation energy.
