Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be reliable tool to investigate the phonon structure of hydrides. E.g., it was shown that the vibrational structure of Ca(BH4)2 has a large impact on the entropy of the system and thus changes the stability of hydride. In intermetallic hydrides, hydrogen is absorbed as a lattice gas with negligible covalent binding to the metal atoms. In a simplified picture, hydrogen on an interstitial site feels a harmonic potential giving vibration energies of the order of 100 meV. The vibrations of hydrogen in a local potential translate into optical phonons of the hydride lattice. The acoustic phonons occur at low energies only and were neglected in the past [6]. It is aim of this project of measuring the INS spectra of various V and Zr based IMC hydrides as archetypical compounds to be used as high pressures.
