The superconductivity of palladium-hydride (Pd-H) system was discovered by Skoskiewicz in 1972. Thereafter, many studies have been carried out on Pd-H and palladium deuteride (Pd-D) systems along with their alloyed (Pd-metal-H) systems. In this paper, we present a brief overview of superconducting properties of these systems. First, we describe methods for H loading into Pd, in which three principal techniques, i.e., gas loading, electrochemical loading, and H implantation are introduced. Next, we briefly summarize the superconducting properties of Pd-H(D) systems, e.g., the concentration dependence of the transition temperature T-c, inverse isotope effect, critical field, pressure dependence of Tc, and the impurity effects. Subsequently, we describe our recent in-situ magnetization measurements of superconducting Pd-H and Pd-D powders with 1-2 mu m diameters prepared by low-temperature H absorption, in which the absorption was performed below 200K under hydrogen (H-2) or deuterium (D-2) gas atmosphere. Additionally, we report resistance measurements of a Pd-H film with similar to 100nm thickness prepared by the same H absorption procedure. The superconducting transition temperature of the film is consistent with that of the powders. From these results, we conclude that the low-temperature H absorption method is useful for preparing high quality Pd-H and Pd-D samples.
