TLDR
In this paper, the H(15N, αγ)12C and D(3He, P) α reactions were used to measure H and D profiles in Zr-2.5 wt% Nb alloys and single crystals of Zr, which were oxidized in different atmospheres after loading with standard amounts of HO and D. Although considerable sample to sample variability was found, large H or D peaks were observed in the majority of the specimens, whose position corresponded to enhanced HO or D levels immediately below the surface oxide film.

Hydrogen detection near surfaces and shallow interfaces with resonant nuclear reaction analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce hydrogen depth profiling by nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) via the resonant 1H(15N,αγ)12C reaction as a versatile method for the highly depth-resolved observation of hydrogen (H) at solid surfaces and interfaces.

An ion beam study of hydrogen diffusion in oxides of Zr and Zr-Nb (2.5 wt%): I. Diffusion parameters for dense oxide

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion of hydrogen in the oxides of pure Zr and Zr−25 wt% Nb alloy has been investigated by means of hydrogen depth profiling Oxide films of ~1 μm were grown on the metal surfaces and were loaded with hydrogen, using ion-beam implantation, to give an implantation peak centered on a specific depth in the oxide layer.

The measurement of the deuterium concentration distributions in deuteride blisters on zirconium-alloy pressure tube material

TL;DR: In this paper, deuterium concentrations in deuteride blisters on zirconium-alloy pressure tube material have been measured as a function of depth with a lateral resolution of a few tens of μm using a nuclear reaction technique with a ~ 1300 keV 3He-ion probe.

New precision technique for measuring the concentration versus depth of hydrogen in solids

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen versus depth in solids using the 1H+15N resonant nuclear reaction is discussed, which has a typical depth resolution of 50-100 A, can be used to a depth of several microns, and can measure hydrogen in concentrations of one part per thousand or greater.

15N hydrogen profiling: Scientific applications

TL;DR: The 15 N hydrogen profiling method is discussed in this paper, together with its use in a number of applications and it is shown that the width of the nuclear resonance used in this method is 0.4 keV (c.m.) which is less than half the published value.

The trapping of hydrogen in niobium by nitrogen interstitials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the trapping of hydrogen in niobium by nitrogen interstitials by resistance measurements and found that only about one hydrogen atom can be trapped per interstitial at low temperatures and that the trapping enthalpy is 0.12+or-0.02 eV.
