Abstract

Powders of three hexagonal metal-hydrides or -deuterides are found to align in 4.4-8.3 T magnetic fields used for NMR. The field-alignment is unexpected, since all three systems have very small susceptibilities, as demonstrated by sharp NMR lines. The extent of alignment runs from nearly complete to barely detectable in ZrBe₂(H,D)_x, LuD ₃, and YD₃, respectively. The preferred alignment direction in ZrBe₂(H,D)_x is with the crystallites' c-axis perpendicular to B, while the c-axis and B tend to be parallel in LuD ₃ and YD₃. The susceptibilities χ_|| and χ_⊥ are determined from bulk magnetization measurements in aligned ZrBe₂H_1.4 powder. The alignment must be considered for proper analysis of NMR spectra in these and related materials.
