Abstract

The AFMR spectra of the NdFe3_3(BO3_3)4_4 crystal are measured in a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. It is found that by the type of magnetic anisotropy the compound is an "easy-plane" antiferromagnet with a weak anisotropy in the basal plane. The effective magnetic parameters are determined: anisotropy fields Ha1H_{a1}=1.14 kOe and Ha2H_{a2}=60 kOe and magnetic excitation gaps Δν1\Delta\nu_1=101.9 GHz and Δν2\Delta \nu_2=23.8 GHz. It is shown that commensurate-incommensurate phase transition causes a shift in resonance field and a considerable change in absorption line width. At temperatures below 4.2 K nonlinear regimes of AFMR excitation at low microwave power levels are observed.
