A profile analysis of the neutron diffraction spectrum of the fee high
pressure hydride gamma-MnH0.41 measured under ambient conditions show
ed that hydrogen is randomly distributed over the octahedral interstic
es of the fee metal lattice and that the hydride is an antiferromagnet
with the same collinear spin structure as pure gamma-Mn, but with a s
maller magnetic moment of about 1.9 Bohr magnetons per Mn atom. (C) 19
