mens are shown to exhibit a luminescent band near 8900A. This band is suggested to be related with arsenic vacancies. Received 9 June 1972
The temperature variation of the hydrogen solubility of copper, silver, and gold in equilibrium with H 2-gas at atmospheric pressure has been measured. Values for the relative partial enthalpy and partial excess entropy of the interstitially dissolved hydrogen atoms have been estimated from the solubility data.

The experimental data are compared with those of previous investigations. The partial entropy values obtained for copper and silver show a ‘regular’ behavior when compared with partial entropies for other cubic metals having a small occludive capacity for hydrogen. The gold—hydrogen system is, however, anomalous and has a partial excess entropy which is essentially zero.

The signs of the magnetostriction constants A1~and A~ are always negative and positive, respectively and the magnitudes of these constants increase with decreasing temperature. These constants ~ and A111 at liquid He temperature are found to be —14.4 x 10~ and 2.4 x 10~ respectively, when ~ is 0.101, and then the magnitudes of those constants decrease linearly with increasing 77.
