Hydrogen diffusion and electronic structure in crystalline and amorphous Ti/sub y/CuH/sub x/

Hydrogen diffusion behavior and electronic properties of crystalline TiCuHo94, Ti2CuH1.90, and Ti2CuH2.63 and amorphous a-TiCuH1.4 were studied using proton relaxation times, proton Knight shifts, and magnetic susceptibilities. Crystal structure and hydrogen site occupancy have major roles in hydrogen mobility. The density of electron states at E sub F is reduced in amorphous a-TiCuH1.4 compared to the crystalline hydrides.

Prospects for coal slurry pipelines in California

The coal slurry pipeline segment of the transport industry is emerging in the United States. If accepted it will play a vital role in meeting America's urgent energy requirements without public subsidy, tax relief, or federal grants. It is proven technology, ideally suited for transport of an abundant energy resource over thousands of miles to energy short industrial centers and at more than competitive costs. Briefly discussed are the following: (1) history of pipelines; (2) California market potential; (3) slurry technology; (4) environmental benefits; (5) market competition; and (6) a proposed pipeline.
