N. Gautier et al., ALUMINUM-GALLIUM SUBSTITUTION IN YTTRIUM GARNETS INVESTIGATED BY NMR AND X-RAY-ABSORPTION, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 165(2), 1998, pp. 329-336
Y3Al5O12 (YAG), Y3Ga5O12 (YGG) and mixed Y3Al5-xGaxO12 (x = 0.5, 1, 2,
3, 4.5) have been synthesised by a sol-gel process. From tile X-ray d
iffraction analysis tile crystallised powders were shown to present, a
garnet structure with unit cell parameters agreeing well with those o
f sing-le crystals. The aluminium-gallium substitution of the garnet s
tructure has been studied ba NMR and EXAFS techniques.
