Al film(135.5 nm thick) with Pd film(39.6 nm thick) on the top of it was made by thermal evaporation method. Electrical resistance change due to hydrogen absorption and desorption was measured by four point measurement method. The sample was activated by hydrogen absorption and desorption cycling at room temp. Hydrogen was introduced into the film by increasing hydrogen gas pressure step by step up to 640 torr at room temp. The resistance change ratio was decreased to 12 % with increasing hydrogen pressure in contrast to normal metal behavior. This strange tendency was not understood yet. Further study is needed to find out the mechanism of hydrogen absorption in Al in Al/Pd film.

In this paper, the difference of the property of absorption and desorption for five species in semi-steady state are studied. The species used are listed in Table 1 and the dimension of specimen was $8\times8{\times}T$(Tangential direction)cm and tested in various conditions. A change of average moisture content with time were measured in each cycles. The results obtained are summarized as follows. When the relative humidity in air was maximum or minimum, the distribution of moisture In wood of all specimens were illustrated by exponential curves of decrease or increased from lace 10 center of wood. From the consideration of coefficient of decrease(C), the amount of moisture change of spruce was larger than the others. The pheonomenon was considered no relation to the specific gravity in air dry, but the wood structures. The velocity of the absorption and desorption for species decreased in the order spruce(Picea sitchensis) neodobam(Fagus crenata), solsong(Tsuga heterophylla), meranti(Shorea sp.) and kaesoo(Cercidiphyllum japoicum). In case of constant temperature and water vapor pressure is changed. the amount of absorbed moisture was larger than that of constant water vapor pressure and temperature vaned. In this fact, it is considered that the property of sorption of wood is strongly influenced by vapor pressure gradient than temperature gradient.

By using the electrochemical method, the relation between the deformation and the geometrical shape, and the effect of cold work on hydrogen absorption-desorption cycling in palladium were investigated, In order to study this problem, four kinds of the Pd specimens used were plates and bars as cold worked and annealed states. As results, it is found that the deformation of thickness direction in the palladium plates increased whereas other lateral directions decreased. But the palladium bars showed the same deformation ratio in all directions because of uniform distribution of the $\beta$ phase. Grains in the plate specimens were greatly deformed after hydrogenation cycling whereas grains in the bar specimens were pulverized. Also, deterioration of the hydrogen absorption rate of the bar specimen was larger than the plate specimen. And the effect of cold work on hydrogen absorption capacity was relatively small.

Radial and tangential water diffusion in Eucalyptus globulus wood was investigated using three mature trees from a forest in Khemis Sahel (North Morocco). Absorption and desorption kinetics experiments were conducted at ambient temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively, and a relative humidity of 60%. The diffusion coefficients in the two directions were determined under imposed hygrothermal conditions; they were greater in the radial direction for the absorption as well as desorption processes. Convective drying under load, preceded by reconditioning and followed up by balancing, revealed the drying conditions that corresponded to the appropriate drying schedules for E. globulus wood. This was verified by measuring the cracks and bowsbefore and after drying of boards.

Deformation on shapes of the hydrogen absorption metal in this paper was investigated on hydrogen absorption-desorption cycling. In order to study this problem, the cold rolled palladium plate and the cold extrusion palladium bar as specimens had been used. By using the electrochemical method, the palladium specimens were cyclically hydrogenated in the 0.1 mol H$_2$SO$_4$ electrolyte. As results, it is noted that the thickness of the plate specimen gradually increased in increasing hydrogenation cycles whereas the width and the length decreased. But both the diameter and the length of the bar specimen increased with increasing hydrogenation cycles. Also, grains in the plate specimen were greatly deformed after hydrogenation cycling whereas internal grains in the bar specimen were pulverized. And deterioration of the hydrogen absorption rate of the bar specimen was lager than the plate specimen.

Al film(135.5 nm thick) with Pd film(39.6 nm thick) on the top of it was made by thermal evaporation method. Hydrogen absorption of Al/Pd film was measured by quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) method at room temperature. The sample was activated by hydrogen absorption and desorption cycling at room temperature. Hydrogen was introduced into the film by increasing hydrogen gas pressure step by step up to 640 torr at room temperature. Hydrogen concentration reached up to 25% at $5{\sim}10$ torr. But at high pressure the concentration decreased. This strange tendency was not understood yet. Further study is needed to find out the mechanism of hydrogen absorption in Al in Al/Pd film.

Deformation of the specimen was investigated on hydrogen absorption-desorption cycling. In order to study this problem, the cold rolled palladium thin plate as the specimen had been used. By using the electrochemical method, the palladium plate specimen was cyclically hydrogenated in the 0.1 mol $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte. As results, it is noted that the thickness of the plate specimen gradually increased in increasing hydrogenation cycles whereas the width and the length decreased. Also, grains in the plate specimen were greatly deformed after hydrogenation cycling. But hydrogen absorption rate scarcely changed.

The water absorption in protective coatings, which may greatly influence the durability of these coatings, was studied using quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical impedance technique. The water absorption in protective coatings and the change of coating capacitance with concentration of electrolyte were measured. The water absorption in coatings seems to be driven by osmotic pressure, and larger amount of water was absorbed in thinner coatings at initial stage of absorption. The amount of water absorbed in coatings changed with the type and crosslinking density of resin used in coating formulation. When water absorption and desorption of coating occured by exposing the coatings to electrolyte solutions of different concentration, increase in impedance caused by desorption of water was found to be higher in the case of thinner film.

We present the investigation on P- and As-desorption process from the (001) InP surface in metal organic chemical vapor deposition using surface photoabsorption (SPA). The monochromatic SPA signal showed rapid initial increase to reach In-stabilized surface value after $PH_3$ was turned off, but in case of As-desorption, the signal showed clear existence of a metastable state after the $AsH_3$ was turned off. The SPA spectra at each stable surfaces were taken to confirm the interpretation. This result indicates that the As-desorption process should be understood as a two-step process, in contrast to P-desorption of one-step process.

The hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics of microencapsulated (CFM)$Ni_{4.7}Al_{0.2}Fe_{0.1}$ and $MmNi_4Fe$ powder with Ni and/or Cu by means of chemical plating method have been investigated. Initial hydrogen absorption rate and activation property were increased remarkably by encapsulation and subsequent compacting. Pellets abtained by compacting of Cu-encapsulated fine powder have fairly good strength even after 30 cycles of hydriding and dehydriding. Encapsulated alloy powder and their compacts show a good resistance to degradation by $O_2$ or CO in hydrogen.
