Hydrogen interaction with intermetallic compound Nd2Ni2Mg crystallizing in the tetragonal Mo2FeB2 type of structure leads to the formation of hydride/deuteride containing 7.4–8 H(D)/f.u. Hydrogen absorption is accompanied by a monoclinic deformation of the unit cell with the crystal structure data refined from Synchrotron XRD (Sp. gr. P21/c; a = 11.60733(5) Å; b = 7.66057(3) Å; c = 11.78743(5) Å, β = 92.4126(4)°, V = 1047.194(8) Å3) and high resolution powder XRD data. The formed interstitial hydride disproportionates during heating forming NdH2. Nd2Ni2Mg is an antiferromagnet with the Néel temperature TN ≈ 19 K. Presence of another magnetic phase transition at 14 K together with two metamagnetic transitions indicates a complicated magnetic phase diagram. The hydrogenation reduces TN to 1.0 K.

Abstract
Hydrogen interaction with intermetallic compound Nd2Ni2Mg crystallizing in the tetragonal Mo2FeB2 type of structure leads to the formation of hydride/deuteride containing 7.4–8 H(D)/f.u. Hydrogen absorption is accompanied by a monoclinic deformation of the unit cell with the crystal structure data refined from Synchrotron XRD (Sp. gr. P21/c; a = 11.60733(5) Å; b = 7.66057(3) Å; c = 11.78743(5) Å, β = 92.4126(4)°, V = 1047.194(8) Å3) and high resolution powder XRD data. The formed interstitial hydride disproportionates during heating forming NdH2. Nd2Ni2Mg is an antiferromagnet with the Néel temperature TN ≈ 19 K. Presence of another magnetic phase transition at 14 K together with two metamagnetic transitions indicates a complicated magnetic phase diagram. The hydrogenation reduces TN to 1.0 K.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
