Aa. Mukhin et al., GIGANTIC INCREASE OF AFMR FREQUENCIES INDUCED BY NONMAGNETIC IMPURITYIONS IN ORTHOFERRITES RFE(1-X)AL(X)O(3) (R=GD,TB), Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 158, 1996, pp. 496-498
We observed a 'gigantic' increase (up to three times) of the AFMR freq
uencies nu(1,2) with decreasing temperature in GdFe0.9Al0.1O3 and TbFe
0.925Al0.075O3 in contrast to pure GdFeO3 and TbFeO3. The effects obse
rved are explained by the appearance of an additional exchange field H
(mv)approximate to=20-36 kOe on rare-earth ions due to decompensation
of the surrounding antiferromagnetically ordered Fe ions near nonmagne
tic impurity ions.
