Abstract
The magneto-optical Kerr effect of an iron-vanadium nanocluster-assembled thin film was measured
as a function of hydrogen content. Hydrogen has a clear effect on the magnetization of this
three-dimensional exchange coupled system for both increasing and decreasing hydrogen pressures.
This effect is attributed to the modification of the electronic properties of the nonmagnetic vanadium
nanoclusters by hydrogen. Since vanadium mediates the exchange coupling between aggregated
iron nanoclusters, the changes in magnetic properties are directly related to hydrogen absorption.
