Olivine-type orthophosphates has been attracting much attention due to their strong linear magnetoelectric effect. The low-field magnetic phases giving rise to the magnetoelelctric effect are well charachterized, however, their high field phase diagrams have not been fully explored. Therefore, we studied the magnetic phases of LiFePO4 and LiNiPO4 at 5K by magnetization measurements till their magnetization reach the saturation. The competing exchange interactions leads to several phase transitions in LiNiPO4, while in LiFePO4 a single spin-flop transition is detected due to the strong anisotropy. The magnetic phase diagrams are interpreted in a classical mean-field model, which allowed us to identify the key terms in spin Hamiltonian.
