title: Ferrimagnetism in the rare-earth iron garnets: a Monte Carlo study.
abstract: We investigate classical vector spin models of the rare-earth iron garnet ferrimagnets yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and gadolinium iron garnet (GdIG) using Monte Carlo simulations. Critical temperatures agree well with experiment. A compensation point is observed in GdIG, again in good agreement with experiment.
