The magnetization of GdCu induced by hydrogen uptake was measured within the temperature range of 4.2 to 300 K, occurring phase changes were followed by X-ray diffraction measurements at ambient temperature. The prepared GdCu powder of CsCl-type structure readily absorbed hydrogen at ambient temperature, where hydrogen pressure was below 100 kPa. Hydrogenation changed the magnetism of GdCu in a complex manner from an antiferromagnetic-like type to a paramagnetic-like one. The changes in magnetic properties of GdCu by hydrogenation are governed by hydrogen-induced disproportionation. Within the composition range 0<[H]/[GdCu]<1, GdCu disproportionated according to 2GdCu+H2→GdH2+GdCu2 . The magnetization was evaluated by the expression χtotal=(1-x)χGdCu+(x/2)(χGdH2+χGdCu2)χtotal=(1-x)χGdCu+(x/2)(χGdH2+χGdCu2). GdCu hydride was not observed. Hydrogenation beyond [H]/[GdCu]>1 gave rise to the disproportionation of GdCu2 causing the change in magnetization.
