Tin Deuteride (SnD 4 ) Stabilization

We evaluated six different cylinder passivation procedures to increase the room temperature stability of gaseous tin deuteride (SnD 4 ). Two were successful in extending the lifetime of a 1% SnD 4 mixture in hydrogen at 50 PSIA for more than six months. Higher concentrations and/or higher total pres...

Summary:We evaluated six different cylinder passivation procedures to increase the room temperature stability of gaseous tin deuteride (SnD 4 ). Two were successful in extending the lifetime of a 1% SnD 4 mixture in hydrogen at 50 PSIA for more than six months. Higher concentrations and/or higher total pressure reduced the lifetime.
