Finite size effects: deuterium diffusion in nm thick vanadium layers

Finite size effects: deuterium diffusion in nm thick vanadium layers

We investigate the effect of finite size on the chemical diffusion of deuterium in extremely thin V(001) layers. A five fold increase in the diffusion coefficient is observed at concentrations around 0.2 [D/V], when the thickness of the V is decreased from 28 to 14 atomic layers (≈2.1–4.2 nm). The s...
