Title: Structural relationships in rare earth-transition metal hydrides

Abstract

Several structural types of form AB/sub 2/, AB/sub 3/, A/sub 2/B/sub 7/, and AB/sub 5/ (A = rare earth, B = transition metal) are known to be closely related, with local environments which are very similar among the different compounds. Based on these relationships, we suggest that hydride phases A/sub l/B/sub m/H/sub n/ should be related according to the relationships n(AB/sub 3/) = 1/3n(AB/sub 5/) + 2/3n(AB/sub 2/) and n(A/sub 2/B/sub 7/) = n(AB/sub 5/) + n(AB/sub 2/) where the n(AB/sub m/) are observed hydrogen phase concentrations. It is shown that the phases observed in pressure-composition isotherms for AB/sub 3/ and A/sub 2/B/sub 7/ systems can be understood from this viewpoint. A discussion is given of the maximum hydrogen concentration possible in the compounds having these structure types.
