The magnetic properties and phase composition of the starting compound Sm1.8Er0.2Fe17, nitride Sm1.8Er0.2Fe17N2.1 and its crushed powders have been investigated. The magnetic measurements of the samples were studied in magnetic fields up to 70 kOe at room temperature. It was found that the introduction of nitrogen atoms into the crystal lattice of the substituted composition (Sm,Er)2Fe17 in combination with the effect of high-energy milling of nitride leads to an increase in the saturation magnetization (σS) and coercive force (HC).

This method is regarded as a promising trade-off solution between the already developed high-pressure storage reservoir, utilized in the automobile industry, and solid-state storage through the formation of metal hydrides. Therefore, it is possible to lower the hydrogen pressure and to increase the hydrogen volumetric density. In this work, we design a non-stoichiometric AB2 C14-Laves alloy composed of (Ti0.9Zr0.1)1.25Cr0.85Mn1.1Mo0.05. This alloy is synthesized by arc-melting, and the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors are evaluated in a high-pressure Sieverts apparatus. Proper thermodynamic parameters are obtained in the range of temperature and pressure from 3 to 85 °C and from 15 to 500 bar: ΔHabs. = 22 ± 1 kJ/mol H2, ΔSabs. = 107 ± 2 J/K mol H2, and ΔHdes. = 24 ± 1 kJ/mol H2, ΔSdes. = 110 ± 3 J/K mol H2.

The reaction of hydrogen absorption and desorption was carried out at 250 and 300 • C for Nd 2 Fe 17 , while the pressure-composition-isotherms (P-C-T) and enthalpy change with hydrogen concentration in the intermetallic compound (IMC) were obtained. The Nd 2 Fe 14 B-H 2 system was studied at 50 • C and the dependence of the enthalpy change with hydrogen concentration in the intermetallic compound was also obtained. Based on the measured data, the assumption about the order of filling the interstitial sites by hydrogen atoms was made.

X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques were used to identify the position and determine the positional parameters of the metal and deuterium atoms. The deuterides are isostructural with the parent compound CeNi 3 but have a larger unit cell. Increasing the deuterium content to the composition CeNi 3 D 5.2 leads to partial amorphization of the material. The variation in unit-cell volume observed at low and high deuterium contents indicates that the metal-deuterium bonds are partially ionic and partially metallic.

The dehydrogenation of the CaSiH X hydride was carried out at 548 K. For a calorimetric study, the installation composed of the differential heat-conducting Tian-Calvet type calorimeter connected with a conventional Sieverts-type apparatus was employed. Such installation permitted us to obtain simultaneously the P-X isotherms (P-equilibrium hydrogen pressure, X = H/ CaSi) and variation of the partial molar enthalpies of the reaction of hydrogen desorption from CaSiH X with the hydrogen concentration in the metallic matrix. It was ascertained that in the CaSi-H 2 system there was one region where values of the partial molar enthalpy of the reaction of hydrogen desorption from the CaSiH X hydride remained constant. This means that formation of one hydride phase in the CaSi-H 2 system took place. The enthalpy and entropy values for the reaction of hydrogen desorption from the CaSiH X in the plateau range are DH des = 53.8 ± 1.2-kJ mol-1 H 2 and DS des = 94.2 ± 2.7 J mol-1 H 2 K-1 (DH des and DS des-the differential molar enthalpy and entropy desorption, respectively).

The structure and the phase composition of the alloys were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. An introduction of hydrogen does not change the structure type and hydriding is accompanied by an isotropic increase in the cell volume by about 20%. The alloys studied demonstrate maximum values of hydrogen sorption capacity, discharge capacity, and good rate capability throughout a wide range of compositions, rather than in a narrow region in the vicinity of the stoichiometric composition.

Nitriding was carried out 13 3.5 in a nitrogen atmosphere of 30 bar pressure and at temperature 700 K. The structure of LaCo N was refined by the full-profile analysis 13 3 using the GSAS program. Magnetic measurements were made on free and aligned samples in the temperature range 78-750 K and magnetic fields up to 13 kOe with a pendulum magnetometer. The saturation magnetisations s of LaCo hydride and nitride were s 1 3 measured on fine powder samples at temperatures of 300 and 78 K. The data obtained indicate insignificant change of the hydride saturation magnetisation in comparison with initial sample, while the saturation magnetization of nitride decreases by 26.5%. Values of the anisotropy fields of these compounds, as well as their saturation magnetisation values, show insignificant changes at the room temperature and 78 K, which are the characteristics of compounds with high Curie temperatures. However, hydriding and nitriding lead to a rise in the peculiarities in the behaviour of s(T) at temperature T5480 K, namely, an increase of magnetization in the hydride LaCo H and a 13 3.5

The refinement of diffraction profiles was performed using the Rietveld method. Introduction of hydrogen does not change the metal matrix structure and the hydriding is accompanied by isotropic increase of cell volume by 20%. The minimisation of the R-factor showed that the best fit is achieved for the model of deuterium location in three sites, 24(l), 12(k) and 6(h). However, at low temperature 1 1 approximately 0.11 deuterium atoms relocate from the 24(l) to the 12(k) position. The analysis of alloy and deuteride structure performed 1 in this work as well as the reference data allow to draw a conclusion, that the set of sites in hexagonal Laves phase structure which are occupied by deuterium is a stable one and does not depend on temperature or alloy composition.
