Bismuth-doped ytterbium and holmium titanates have been synthesized and their magnetic properties have been investigated. The magnetization curves and temperature dependences of the susceptibility in fields of up to 30 kOe at temperatures from 2 to 300 K have been obtained. The properties of the doped and undoped titanates have been compared. It has been established that the temperature dependences of the product of susceptibility and temperature contains a linear portion and the slope sign in these dependences changes upon doping for both the Ho_2Ti_2O_7 and Yb_2Ti_2O_7 titanates. Based on the investigated temperature dependences of the susceptibility, the magnetic dipole and exchange couplings in the titanates have been analyzed.

Experimental study of microwave giant magnetoresistive effect in wave reflection has been carried out in frequency range from 26 to 38 GHz. The magnitude of the effect is obtained and its magnetic field dependence is defined. The experiments are carried out with (CoFe)/Cu superlattices, which have giant magnetoresistance. Calculations of the magnetic field dependence of microwave reflection coefficient are fulfilled. The measured values of reflection coefficient variations are found to be greater than the calculated ones. This difference is connected with approximation within which the superlattice is replaced by the uniform metallic plate in calculations. A frequency dependence of microwave giant magnetoresistive effect in reflection is also observed. This dependence is explained by the influence of the waveguide impedance where the sample is placed in measurements.
