Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y 3 Al 5 O 12) is a synthetic crystalline material of the garnet group. It is a cubic yttrium aluminium oxide phase, with other examples being YAlO 3 (YAP [ 2 ] ) in a hexagonal or an orthorhombic, perovskite -like form, and the monoclinic Y 4 Al 2 O 9 (YAM [ 3 ] ).
Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y 3 Al 5 O 12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant , neodymium in the +3 oxidation state, Nd(III), typically replaces a small fraction (1%) of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are ...
Yttrium, iron, aluminium, and gadolinium garnets (e.g. Y 3 (Fe,Al) 5 O 12 and Y 3 (Fe,Gd) 5 O 12) have important magnetic properties. [15] YIG is also very efficient as an acoustic energy transmitter and transducer. [74] Yttrium aluminium garnet (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 or YAG) has a hardness of 8.5 and is also used as a gemstone in jewelry (simulated ...

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is a kind of synthetic garnet, with chemical composition Y 3 Fe 2 (FeO 4) 3, or Y 3 Fe 5 O 12. It is a ferrimagnetic material [1] with a Curie temperature of 560 K. [2] YIG may also be known as yttrium ferrite garnet, or as iron yttrium oxide or yttrium iron oxide, the latter two names usually associated with powdered ...
Yttrium oxide is used to stabilize the Zirconia in late-generation porcelain-free metal-free dental ceramics. This is a very hard ceramic used as a strong base material in some full ceramic restorations. [9]
Er:YAG laser rod. An Er:YAG laser (erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser, erbium YAG laser) is a solid-state laser whose active laser medium is erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:Y 3 Al 5 O 12). Er:YAG lasers typically emit light with a wavelength of 2940 nm, which is infrared light. [1]
Yttralox, transparent yttrium oxide Y 2 O 3 containing ~ 10% thorium oxide (ThO 2) was fabricated by Greskovich and Woods. [29] The additive served to control grain growth during densification, so that porosity remained on grain boundaries and not trapped inside grains where it would be quite difficult to eliminate during the initial stages of ...
