Abstract

We present a theoretical study about the cation distribution and their effect on the physical properties of Ni-doped YIG system, based on a phenomenological model, the generalized Kapustinskii equation, and the single ion contribution to the saturation magnetization and cubic anisotropy constant. From the calculated reticular energy values (\(U_{{{\text{ret}}}}\)) it was possible to determine the more probable valence state configuration, corresponding with the coexistence of 3+ and 2+ oxidation states for Fe ions, the 2+ oxidation state for Ni, and oxygen vacancies presence. In addition, from the occupation probability values, it was demonstrated that Ni2+ and Fe2+ cations prefer to occupy the octahedral sites, reflecting on the saturation magnetization (Ms) and cubic anisotropy constant (K1) behaviors. The theoretical results of Ms and K1 were compared with the experimental values, showing a reasonable correspondence, considering the simplicity of the presented phenomenological model.
