Both X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques were employed in order to elucidate short-range structures of crystalline (c-)TbFe2D3.8and amorphous (a-)TbFe2Dx(x=3.0, 2.0) prepared by deuterium absorption of the C15 Laves phase compound TbFe2. Interatomic distances and coordination numbers were derived from the radial distribution functions, RDF(r)s. The RDF(r)s observed by X-ray diffraction indicated that c-TbFe2D3.8adopts a rhombohedral structure, but there is a little difference in the arrangement of metal atoms between the original C15 Laves phase c-TbFe2and the rhombohedral c-TbFe2D3.8. In contrast, our results indicated that there is a large difference in the arrangement of metal atoms between c-TbFe2and a-TbFe2Dx(x=3.0, 2.0) and there are clusters of Fe and Tb atoms in a-TbFe2Dx(x=3.0, 2.0). RDF(r)s observed by the neutron diffraction indicated that the D atoms occupy tetrahedral sites consisting of 2Tb+2Fe in c-TbFe2D3.8, while they occupy sites consisting of 4Tb, 3Tb+1Fe and 2Tb+2Fe in a-TbFe2Dx(x=3.0, 2.0).
