ABSTRACTYFe2H4 is a ferromagnetic metal with magnetization higher than the Laves phase parent compound, YFe2. Here, the electronic and magnetic properties of YFe2H4 are studied using density functional calculations, in order to elucidate the reasons for this. The electronic structure of YFe2H4 differs from that of YFe2 both because of the lattice expansion upon hydriding and because of chemical interactions involving H. However, the main reason for the increased magnetization is found to be the lattice expansion.
