Hydrogen strongly influences the quantum-mechanical interference at defects, considerably enhances the quasi-elastic electron scattering and depresses the relative contribution of the spin-orbit interaction. The Maki-Thompson interaction is likewise depressed with increasing hydrogen concentration. The results can be interpreted on the basis of current theoretical concepts based on weak localization in three-dimensional systems in the presence of strong spin-orbit interaction and superconducting fluctuations.
