Abstract
In these preliminary studies, the Monte Carlo simulations were performed for tetrahedral-octahedral exchanges while direct tetrahedral-tetrahedral jumps were neglected for simplicity. Three models of hydrogen diffusion, differing in the maximum jump lengths allowed for a given model, were considered. These lengths were taken as the distances from the hydrogen attempting to jump to the first (INN), second (2NN), and third (3NN) nearest neighbor position able to accept the jumping atom. Assuming the same attempt frequency nu(0) = 6.0 x 10(12) s(-1) for all three models, the activation energies giving the best fit to experimental data were 0.5, 0.54, and 0.55 eV for 1NN, 2NN, and 3NN models, respectively.
