Abstract
ATOMIC hydrogen in iron has so far been known to be occluded when iron is quenched from a high temperature in water or when iron is electrolytically deposited. I have observed the existence of atomic hydrogon in iron nitride prepared by heating iron in the current of ammonia gas. I confirmed it by measuring the single potential of the iron nitride in normal ferrous sulphate solution. The time voltage curve of the iron nitride showed a minimum due to atomic hydrogen at the beginning, similar to that which appeared in the curve of iron quenched and loaded with atomic hydrogen, obtained by T. W. Richards.1
