Quantitative Evaluations of Hydrogen Diffusivity in V-X (X = Cr, Al, Pd) Alloy Membranes Based on Hydrogen Chemical Potential [PDF]
Vanadium (V) has higher hydrogen permeability than Pd-based alloy membranes but exhibits poor resistance to hydrogen-induced embrittlement. The alloy elements are added to reduce hydrogen solubility and prevent hydrogen-induced embrittlement.

Analysis for Reverse Temperature Dependence of Hydrogen Permeability through Pd-X (X = Y, Ho, Ni) Alloy Membranes Based on Hydrogen Chemical Potential [PDF]
It is generally understood that the hydrogen permeability of Pd-Ag alloy membranes declines with decreasing temperature. However, recent studies have revealed that the hydrogen permeability of Pd-Ag alloy membranes inversely increases at a certain ...

The van der Waals Hexaquark Chemical Potential in Dense Stellar Matter
We explore the chemical potential of a QCD-motivated van der Waals (VDW) phase change model for the six-quark color-singlet, strangeness S = −2 particle known as the hexaquark with quark content (uuddss).
