Abstract
YIG:Co,Ca,Ge films grown on (001) plane substrate were investigated down to liquid helium temperatures using torque anisometry technique. Successively lowering temperature spin-reorientational transitions were observed between following easy magnetization axes (EMA) orientations : (i) at room temperature - four EMA inclined to the film plane from [111] directions ; (ii) two EMA near the [110] and [1-10] directions, (iii) two other EMA near the [100] and [010] directions ; (iv) one EMA near the [001] direction at the helium temperature.
