Description

Recently, rare earth iron borates RFe3(BO3)4 (R: Rare Earth) attracted attention as candidates for possible multiferroic behavior. Most of the RFe3(BO3)4 crystals exhibit antiferromagnetic order below ∝40 K. In this ordered phase several magnetic transitions are taking place, in dependence of temperature and magnetic field. We have studied these magnetic transition by means of hard X-ray diffraction (hν=100 keV) for the compounds TbFe3(BO3)4, GdFe3(BO3)4 and YFe3(BO3)4. Several superlattice reflections could be observed, which indicate commensurate structural modulations along a- and c-axis. We compare the field and temperature dependence of these superlattice reflections with results from thermodynamics and transport measurements
