The position of In3+ ions in garnet single crystals of composition {Bi
0.4Ca2.6}[Fe2-yIny] (Fe1.7V1.3)O-12 (y < 0.15) was qualitatively deter
mined by the Mossbauer spectroscopy method. According to the single-io
n model, the Fe3+ ions on octahedral and tetrahedral sites provided ab
out the same contribution for the magnetic anisotropy of single-crysta
l BiCaVIG (K-1a(V) = -0.0125 cm(-1), K-1d(V) = 0.0127 cm(-1) for y = 0
) and BiCaInVIG (K-1a(ln) = -0.0024 cm(-1), K-1d(ln) = 0.002 cm(-1), f
or y = 0.144) at room temperature. (C) 1998 Chapman & Hall.
