Abstract

Single-crystal electron microprobe analysis of a lanthanum lutetium gallium garnet has resulted in a composition of La2.37Nd 0.07Pb0.01Lu2.54Cr0.01 Ga 3.00O12. This composition gives better agreement between observed and calculated total dielectric polarizabilities than previously reported compositions (La2.26-2.32Nd0.04Lu 2.57-2.63Ga3.07O12 by x-ray fluorescence and La2.655Nd0.027Lu2.656Ga2.655O 12 by inductively coupled plasma analyses), and does not imply the crystal-chemically improbable presence of Lu3+ in the tetrahedral site. X-ray and neutron crystal-structure analyses have confirmed that little or no Lu resides in this site.
