Description
Summary:Single crystals of the [Tb.sub.0.75][Ho.sub.0.25][Fe.sub.3] [([BO.sub.3]).sub.4] ferroborate have been grown by the group method from a solution-melt based on bismuth trimolybdate. The magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of the ferroborate single crystals have been investigated in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 9 T. Magnetically, this material is an antiferromagnet with the N6el temperature [T.sub.N] = 38.8 K and easy-axis anisotropy. The magnitude of the magnetoelectric polarization has been found to be more than 1.5-2.0 times greater than the sum of the polarizations induced by the magnetic field for the ferroborates Tb[Fe.sup.3] [([BO.sub.3]).sub.4] and Ho[Fe.sub.3] [([BO.sub.3]).sub.4] taken in the corresponding shares.
