Preface

Phenomena related to the topic "Hydrogen in Metals" and the physics behind them as they were known at the end of the seventies are reviewed in the books Hydrogen in Metals, Vols. I and II, edited by G. Alefeld and J. V61kl (Vols. 28 and 29 of this series). These books, which treat mostly hydrogen in elemental metals, are still very valuable and will continue to be important in the coming years. Since their publication, a lot of new results have been obtained, which have improved both our knowledge and understanding considerably. The work was stimulated by the extraordinary properties of hydrogen-storing intermetallic compounds and by the energy crisis. The recent progress, which has more often concerned intermetallic compounds and alloys than elemental metals, has been reviewed in many good articles either at a technical, purely scientific, or at a more popular level. Until now, however, the details of this important field have never been drawn together and presented in the form of a book. Thus, the aim of the publication of the two volumes "Hydrogen in Intermetallic Compounds" is to give a thorough description of the various asp
