The crystal structures of solid hydrogen and solid deuterium in thin films

Reflection electron diffraction patterns obtained from thin films of solid hydrogen at approximately 5°K contain sharp rings from a face-centred cubic phase with a0 = 5centerdot29 ± 0centerdot05 Å, and broader rings which are consistent within experimental error with the hexagonal close-packed structure reported by other workers.

Reflection and transmission diffraction patterns obtained from solid deuterium at about 5°K and 7°K respectively contain sharp rings from a face-centred cubic phase with a0 = 5centerdot07 ± 0centerdot05 Å at approximately 5°K. The atomic positions in the structures have not been determined.

If it is assumed that there are eight atoms of hydrogen or deuterium per face-centred cubic unit cell, then the calculated densities for the solid elements are in accord with published data.
