Abstract
Temperature dependence of the magnetization measurements and Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS) have been performed on sputtered Bi3Fe5O12 (BiIG), Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) and (Bi, Y)IG films. Under the effect of the diamagnetic dilution of the diamagnetic yttrium sublattice the magnetization of BiIG is decreased with respect to YIG. The hyperfine field at the tetrahedral iron sites is increased, indicating a decrease in the intra-sublattice exchange interaction rather than the decrease of the tetrahedral iron moment.
