Single crystals of a series of hydrides Er2Fe14BHx (x ≤ 2.5) have been produced and studied in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T. The magnetization curve of Er2Fe14B in the easy direction [100] features a stepwise anomaly at about 45 T, corresponding to the first-order phase transition. A similar magnetization jump is also present in the curve along [110], but at a higher field, ∼52 T. The [100] data of the parent and hydrogen-charged Er2Fe14BHx with x = 0.25, 1.5, 2.5 were used to deduce the Er-Fe molecular field Hmol as a function of hydrogen content x. After moderate initial decrease, Hmol(x) drops abruptly above x = 1.5. Hydrogenation results in a 12% reduction of the Er-Fe molecular field in Er2Fe14BH2.5 as compared to Er2Fe14B. For reference, influence of hydrogen on Hmol in an Er2Fe17-H system is also presented.
