Abstract
The structure of ZrFe2 and ZrCo2 deuterides prepared under very high deuterium pressure has been studied by neutron diffraction (ND) at 10 K. The patterns of both compounds are refined with a mixture of intermetallic compound and deuteride. For ZrFe2Dx, the cell volume increases with 23% and the 2.7 D/f.u. are located randomly in A2B2 sites. The Fe moments order in a ferromagnetic structure and increase from 1.8 to 2.2 μB/Fe upon D absorption. The ZrCo2 deuteride shows a doubling of the cell parameter due to deuterium order of 2 D/f.u. in 7 over 12 A2B2 sites with a cell volume increase of 12%.
