Magnetic phase diagram of the olivine-type Mn2GeO4 single crystal estimated from magnetic, resonance and thermodynamic properties.

Mn2GeO4 single crystals with the olivine structure grown by the modified flux method have been investigated. Pronounced magnetic phase transitions at T1 = 47.7 K, T2 = 17 K and T3 = 5.

Determination of the magnetic structure of SmFe3(BO3)4 by neutron diffraction: comparison with other RFe3(BO3)4 iron borates.

Temperature dependent neutron diffraction studies were performed on SmFe(3)(BO(3))(4). The crystallographic structure was determined to stay as R32 over the whole studied temperature range of 2 K < T < 300 K. A magnetic phase transition characterized by the magnetic propagation vector κ = [0 0 3/2] takes place at T(N) = 34 K.

Magnetic structure in iron borates RFe(3)(BO(3))(4) (R = Er, Pr): a neutron diffraction and magnetization study.

Neutron diffraction, susceptibility and magnetization measurements (for R = Er only) were performed on iron borates RFe(3)(BO(3))(4) (R = Pr, Er) to investigate details of the crystallographic structure, the low temperature magnetic structures and transitions and to study the role of the rare earth anisotropy. PrFe(3)(BO(3))(4), which crystallizes in the spacegroup R32, becomes antiferromagnetic at T(N) = 32 K, with τ = [0 0 3/2], while ErFe(3)(BO(3))(4), which keeps the P3(1)21 symmetry over the whole studied temperature range 1.5 K < T < 520 K, becomes antiferromagnetic below T(N) = 40 K, with τ = [0 0 1/2].

Low-temperature magnetic phase diagram of HoFe(3)(BO(3))(4) holmium ferroborate: a magnetic and heat capacity study.

We present the results of the magnetic and heat capacity study of a magnetic phase diagram of a HoFe(3)(BO(3))(4) single crystal. Two magnetic phase transitions are found in the low-temperature region. The transition from the paramagnetic to easy-plane antiferromagnetic state occurs at T(N) = 37.
