Synthetic garnets have excellent optical properties. Aluminum garnets are excellent crystal hosts and they are useful as solid state laser materials. Iron garnets have interesting infrared properties. The magnetic optical effects in iron garnets are not only useful in devices, but also provide fundamental information about the materials themselves. Finally, silicon-doped iron garnets have pho-...

The refractive index of polymer films can be related to the polymer density by using effeaive medium theories such as Maxwell-Garnet or Bmggemann theory that in the limit of small polymer volume content give identical results. These theories can be applied for random mixtures of a polymer and a solvent where the size of grains (or pore size) is much smaller than the wavelength X. The polymer volume content in a swollen polymer (hydrogel) can be calculated from the optical properties of a film as... 

See p. 500 of ref. 24 for a description of Ihe garnet structure which is also adopted by inany. synthetic and non-silicaie coniponnds these have been much stndied recently becan.se of their important optical and magnetic properties, e.g. ferrimagnetic vitriuni iron garnet (YIG), y> Fe (Al" b4),. 

Transparent YAG ceramics (yttrium aluminate garnet, Y3AI5O12) have excellent optical and mechanical properties. Besides flieir widespread applications in solid-state lasers, transparent YAG ceramics have also been used as envelopes in lamps [10, 11]. As expected, the corrosion resistance of YAG to rare-earth halide fills was less than that of PCA. For instance, the wall could be attacked by the rare-earth halide fills (Reis), such as Tmis, after a prolonged duration of application, due to the following reaction ...
