The diffusivity of hydrogen in the metal-hydride ZrBe2H1.4has been studied by different nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The proton spin-lattice relaxation rate Γ1has been measured at 27.7 MHz and 67.7 MHz in the temperature range from 175 K to 500 K. At four distinct temperatures the frequency dependence of Γ1has been investigated between 0.31 MHz and 29.2 MHz using the field-cycling (FC) NMR technique. These studies indicate that the hydrogen diffusion is restricted to two dimensions within each particle of the powdered sample. The structure of ZrBe2H1.4suggests that the hydrogen diffusion takes place in the xy planes formed by the Zr atoms. The variation of the echo amplitude with the applied field gradient in pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) spin-echo experiments confirmed the two-dimensional character of the hydrogen diffusion. The PFG data taken between 272 K and 478 K yielded directly the diffusivities in the xy plane Dxy. The temperature dependence of Dxyis well represented by an Arrhenius law with an activation enthalpy Ha=(0.25±0.02) eV. This activation enthalpy is in very good agreement with values deduced from both the frequency and the temperature dependence of Γ1.
