Abstract
Iron borate (FeBO3) is a transparent, green, room‐temperature weak ferromagnet (a canted anti‐ferromagnet) with a Curie temperature of 348°K. Ferromagnetic resonance measurements, i.e., linewidth, anisotropy fields, and g factor vs temperature and frequency are reported for the first time on this material. A low‐temperature linewidth maximum of unknown origin is also observed. Its narrow linewidth, large magnetic anisotropy, large optical Faraday rotation, and transparency in the green (the latter two reported elsewhere) made FeBO3 of interest for devices such as electronically tunable cavities and filters up to ∼100 GHz and high‐speed magneto‐optic modulators.
