6. 6 K. Yvon Tateshina, 16-19 March 2003 IEA Task 17 Workshop Alanates Dopped and undopped NaAlH 4 and NaAlD 4 The samples are activated upon dopping; Raman spectroscopic study of the dopped samples (opaque) is impossible; Peak breadening is observed by IR-spectroscopy (as well as by NMR – prof. Jensen) for dopped samples; X-ray powder patterns show no peak broadening (no inhomogeneity) for dopped samples.
