Abstract Magnetization measurements were carried out on the alloys Zr(Cr1−x Cu x )2 (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) before and after hydrogenation. All the binary and the ternary alloys, as well as their hydrides, exhibit a temperature-independent or nearly temperature-independent Pauli type of paramagnetism. Beside the Pauli paramagnetism, a ferromagnetic contribution to the total magnetization was observed for most of the alloys and their hydrides. It was also observed that hydrogen absorption enhances the Pauli paramagnetism as well as the ferromagnetism of the alloys. The rather unusual magnetic behaviour of these systems is briefly discussed in terms of 3d band filling of the transition metal, and is compared with some related systems.
