Abstract

Quantitative Vickers microhardnesses for α + δ′-, δ′-, δ-, δ + ε- and ε-phase hafnium hydrides (HfH_x; 1.46 ≤ x ≤ 2.02) and deuterides (HfD_x; 1.55 ≤ x ≤ 1.94) at room temperature have been measured using a Vickers hardness tester. The Vickers microhardnesses of the HfH_x and HfD_x gradually decreased with an increase of the hydrogen concentration, and those for 1.46 ≤ x ≤ 1.70 were higher than that of α-phase metallic Hf. It was revealed by a first-principles calculation as well as an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement that the hydrogen concentration dependence of the microhardnesses for HfH_x and HfD_x was ascribed mainly in terms of its influence on charge transfer from Hf 5d to H 1s and reduction of cohesive energy.
