Effect of diamagnetic impurities on the magnetic susceptibility of iron borate

The low-frequency magnetic susceptibility of a FeBO3 single crystal doped with diamagnetic Mg ions was measured by a magnetooptical method. It is shown that the introduction of Mg ions into the composition of this easy-plane weak ferromagnet results in the appearance, at low temperatures, of a strong in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy and also causes a marked difference between the field dependences of the magnetic susceptibility measured in magnetic fields applied along different directions in the basal plane of the crystal. The revealed specific features of the field dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the crystal studied are associated with the transformation of its magnetic structure during magnetization.
