Preface
Interdisciplinary research topics are inevitably associated with both opportunities and risks. These stem, for example, from the different ways of investigating problems and the different expressions used to describe the same phenomenon by scientists from different fields. "Hydrogen in and on Metals" is one such topic. It attracts metallurgists, solid state scientists from both physics and chemistry, mechanical and chemical engineers and energy technology specialists. Phenomena related to the topic "Hydrogen in Metals" and the physics behind them as they were understood at the end of the 1970s are reviewed in the books Hydrogen in Metals, Vol. | and II, edited by G. Alefeld and J. V61kl (Vols. 28 and 29 of Topics in Applied Physics). These books, which deal mainly with hydrogen in elemental metals, are still very valuable and will continue to be important in the coming years. Since their publication, many new results have been obtained, and have considerably improved both our knowledge and understanding. Much recent work has been stimulated by the extraordinary properties of hydrogen-storing intermetailic compounds and by the constant threat of an energy crisis. The recent progress, which has involved intermetallic compounds and alloys rather than elemental metals, has been reviewed in many good articles, either at a technical, purely scientific level, or at a more popu
