Turns out Lead-Hydrogen is ... interesting : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0378436381908883 Localized modes of oscillation in hydrogen and deuterium doped lead * B.W. Nedrud∗, D.M. Ginsberg * a Department of Physics and Materials Research Laboratory 1110 West Green Street USA * b University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL 61801 USA We have measured the tunneling characteristics of quench-condensed films of pure Pb, hydrogen-doped Pb, and deuterium- doped Pb. We have determined phonon spectra to fit the electronic densities of states calculated from our data. The phonon spectra for Pb/H and Pb/D exhibit additional phonon peaks which we associate with a localized mode (or modes) of the impurity. The magnitudes of the peaks indicate that this mode is strongly coupled to the electronic system. - - - - - - - http://www.mendeley.com/research/isotopic-exchange-between-hydrogen-deuterium-process-permeating-through-li017pb083/ Fusion Engineering and Design (2010) Volume: 85, Issue: 7-9, Pages: 1225-1228 The permeation process of hydrogen isotopes through Li0.17Pb0.83 has been investigated experimentally. We obtained the overall D permeation rates that take into consideration of the effects of the H-D isotopic exchange reaction on the surface and diffusion in the Li-Pb layer. It was proved that the rate-determining step was not the surface reaction but the diffusion in the Li-Pb bulk. ....
