Non-resonant magnetic XRD (NRMXRD) experiments with photon energy of 100keV where performed on selected compounds of the RFe3(BO3)4 family as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. The results show the existence of several unexpected diffraction features, in particular the presence of a magnetic super-lattice peak, and the appearance of two reflections that violate the diffraction conditions for the low temperature phase P3121 of the iron borates. The magnetic nature of the former is concluded from analysing the scattering cross section at high energies and the magnetic structure of the different compounds. It is shown that the magnetic reflection reveals the magnetic properties of the material. For GdFe3(BO3)4, values for the component of the spin moment perpendicular to the scattering plane (S⊥) have been determined as well as the angle between the spin moment and the hexagonal basal plane.
