Abstract
Internal friction has been measured vs. temperature from 15-330 K for equiatomic Nb-V alloys with up to 28 at. % H. A broad peak at roughly 125 K shows characteristics which strongly suggest that it is a reorientation peak. Detailed analysis using a newly developed method indicates the activation energy spectrum to be bell shaped and to be over the range 0.10 to 0.30 eV. A pre-exponential factor of 5x10-13 is determined.
