By using mass-spectroscopic analyses, a study was made of the permeation of H through Mo membranes at 400 to 1200C, under pressures of 1 to 200torr. The diffusion data obeyed:

D (cm2/s) = 2.0 exp[-17.8(kcal/mol)/RT]

The results indicated that the penetration of H into Mo did not occur via a purely diffusive mechanism, and that surface effects played an appreciable part

in the process.
