Abstract

We studied temperature-dependent high-resolution optical spectra of Er ³⁺ probe ion introduced into single crystals of the borates RFe ₃(BO₃)₄, R=Gd, Tb, Er, and Y. Exchange splittings of the Er³⁺ Kramers doublets were found from the spectra. They manifest the magnetic ordering in Gd, Tb, Er, and Y iron borates at 37, 41, 38, and 39 K, respectively, and a spin-reorientation in GdFe ₃(BO₃)₄: Er (1%) at T_R=7.5 K. From a comparison of the data on Y, Er, and Tb iron borates with those on GdFe ₃(BO₃)₄ where the magnetic structure has been determined earlier, we suggest the following patterns of the ordered Fe magnetic moments: m_Fe⊥c for R=Er and Y; m_Fe|c for R=Tb.
