AbstractIn order to study magnetic states in Fe-hydride under pressure, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the FeK-edge has been measured up to 27.5 GPa. As a result, hydrogenation from bcc-Fe to dhcp-FeH occurs within a narrow region of 3.2-3.8 GPa, which is clearly observed by the dichroic profile in dhcp-FeH differing from that in bcc-Fe. Influence of H atoms on Fe 3dand 4pelectronic states is discussed using the pressure-dependent XMCD and the first-principles calculation.
