Abstract

Highly perfect FeBO3 and Fe0.91Ga0.09BO3 single crystals were studied in a wide temperature range using SQUID magnetometry. A theoretical model describing the temperature and field dependences of the magnetization of single crystals has been developed. It is found that even a small concentration of gallium, which is a diamagnetic impurity, substantially affects the magnetic properties of single FeBO3 crystals. In particular, the Fe0.91Ga0.09BO3 crystal differs from the pure FeBO3 phase in by a lower magnetic phase transition temperature and a higher antiferromagnetic susceptibility at low temperatures.
