Abstract
Garnets are oxidic materials of interest for magneto-optical applicati ons including optical waveguides. In the context of sputter depth prof iling of those materials etch rates are measured and preferential sput tering is observed. The experimental results are compared with TRIDYN calculations. The satisfactory agreement between experiment and calcul ations leads to the conclusion that the sputtering in these materials is dominated by collisional effects.
