Abstract

The optical absorption spectra of an easy-plane NdFe₃(BO₃)₄ antiferromagnet are measured in the region of the ⁴I_9/2 → ²H_11/2 transition of the of Nd³⁺ ion. The study is performed in the 2-35 K temperature range, in external magnetic fields of up to 65 kOe directed both along the C₃ axis and the basal plane of the crystal. The splitting values of the Nd³⁺ excited states in the exchange field of the Fe³⁺ subsystem and the g-factors of the ²H_11/2 multiplet states are determined. The nontrivial dependences of the splitting of some Nd³⁺ states in a magnetic field indicate that these states have anisotropic Fe-Nd exchange interaction.
