Abstract

Superconducting transition temperatures of

Hf V_{2} H_{x}

and

Hf V_{2} D_{x}

have been measured in the composition ranges

x = 0 - 1.5

and

x = 0 - 1.0

, respectively. Hydrogen or deuterium absorption is found to decrease

T_{c}

of

{HfV}_{2}

. Pronounced isotope effects have been observed. At

x = 1

, hydrogen absorption reduces

T_{c}

by 4.8 K while deuterium absorption reduces

T_{c}

by 6.9 K with respect to

{HfV}_{2}

.
