Hydrogen diffusion coefficients D in disordered b.c.c. systems VyTa1−yH0.07 (y = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75) have been measured by means of the pulsed-field-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance over the temperature range 190–435 K. The hydrogen diffusivities are found to depend strongly on the alloy composition, the room-temperature value of D in the sample with y = 0.75 being an order of magnitude higher than those in the samples with y = 0.25 and 0.50. For all the samples studied, the temperature dependences of H diffusivity follow the Arrhenius law with the activation energies of 0.186 eV (y = 0.25, 306–410 K), 0.182 eV (y = 0.50, 295–401 K) and 0.102 eV (y = 0.75, 190–435 K). These values are in reasonable agreement with those obtained from the proton spin-lattice relaxation measurements reported earlier. The jump lengths of H atoms have been estimated by comparing the measured H diffusivities with the proton spin-lattice relaxation data.
