Abstract
Crystallographic properties of YFe2D3.5deuteride have been studied by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. At 350 K, it crystallizes in theR-3mspace group (Z=6) witha=5.540(1) Å andc=13.568(2) Å. The location of deuterium atoms has been achieved in the paramagnetic state (T=350 K). YFe2and YFe2D3.5are ferromagnetic but deuterium absorption decreases the Curie temperature from 560 to 345 K. At room temperature, the neutron diffraction pattern of the deuteride exhibits a sharp rhombohedral distortion which is compared to that of the ErFe2Dxcompound.
