The problem of compression of an isotropic medium by a periodic system of variable width slits comparable with elastic deformations is considered. The slit faces are under internal pressure. It is considered that the slits have end zones wherein material's tractions act. It is accepted that interaction of the slit's surface under applied loads may reduce the formation of contact zones of their surfaces. The formation of several contact areas of faces of each slit is studied. Therewith, it is considered that on some parts of a contact area there happens stick of the faces, on the remaining part there may happen slippage. The problem of equilibrium of a periodic system of slits with partially contacting faces under compressing load is reduced to the problem of linear conjugation of analytic functions. Determination of unknown parameters characterizing partial closing of a periodic system of variable width slits is reduced to the solution of the system of singular integro-differential equations. The contact stresses, the tractions in bonds between the slit faces in the end zones, the sizes of the contact areas, the adhesion and end zones are studied.

It is well known that for reflections corresponding to large interplanar spacings (i.e., sin θ/λ small), the electron scattering amplitude, f, is sensitive to the ionicity and to the charge distribution around the atoms. We have used this in order to obtain information about the charge distribution in FeTi, which is a candidate for storage of hydrogen. Our goal is to study the changes in electron distribution in the presence of hydrogen, and also the ionicity of hydrogen in metals, but so far our study has been limited to pure FeTi. FeTi has the CsCl structure and thus Fe and Ti scatter with a phase difference of π into the 100-ref lections. Because Fe (Z = 26) is higher in the periodic system than Ti (Z = 22), an immediate “guess” would be that Fe has a larger scattering amplitude than Ti. However, relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations show that the opposite is the case for the 100-reflection. An explanation for this may be sought in the stronger localization of the d-electrons of the first row transition elements when moving to the right in the periodic table. The tabulated difference between fTi (100) and ffe (100) is small, however, and based on the values of the scattering amplitude for isolated atoms, the kinematical intensity of the 100-reflection is only 5.10-4 of the intensity of the 200-reflection.
