Antiferromagnetism in NiTiO3

Abstract
The effective internal field in NiTiO3 as a function of temperature has been determined from zero-field resonance absorption in a powder sample at millimeter wavelengths. Assuming a g value of 2, the resonant frequency (187 kMc) leads to an effective field at 4.2°K of approximately 67 kG. The temperature dependence fits within experimental error a Brillouin function for S = 1, with a Néel temperature of 22°K. From dc susceptibility data, a Néel temperature of 23°K is obtained and an exchange field of approximately 270 kG is computed. These data yield an out-of-plane anisotropy of about 8.3 kG.
