Abstract

Several hydrides of Nd2Ni2In with various H concentrations up to 6 H atoms/f.u. have been synthesized. Nd2Ni2In crystallizes in the tetragonal Mo2FeB2 structure type which can be changed upon hydrogenation to an orthorhombic structure, space group Pbma. The unit-cell volume increases by 15.5 % for Nd2Ni2InH4.5 and by 21.6 % for Nd2Ni2InH6. The triangular rare-earth lattice can give rise to magnetic frustration in case of antiferromagnetic interactions in Nd2Ni2In. The frustration is removed upon hydrogenation due to the orthorhombic distortion. The magnetic ordering temperature decreases with H concentration from 8 K in Nd2Ni2In down to 3.5 K in Nd2Ni2InH6.
