The magnetic susceptibility and equilibrium pressure of a Pd–Ag–Rh ternary alloy and hydrogen system were simultaneously measured, and the relationship between the magnetic susceptibility and the amount of absorbed hydrogen was investigated. The magnetic susceptibility linearly decreased to a value approaching zero with increasing hydrogen content. A high hydrogen content with a magnetic susceptibility close to zero is consistent with a hydride phase. This behavior is similar to that of Pd–Ag or Pd–Rh binary alloys and hydrogen systems, suggesting that the amount of hydrogen absorbed by the Pd–Ag–Rh ternary alloy is correlated with its electronic band structure, as in the case of the Pd-binary alloys. |
