Preparation of (Tb0.8Y0.2)3Al5O12 transparent ceramic as novel magneto optical i

The ion substitution characteristics of Y3+-doped (Tb0.8Y0.2)3Al5O12 transparent ceramics synthesized by a solid-state reaction and vacuum sintering are investigated. The sample sintered at 1 680 oC exhibits the best optical properties, yielding a transmittance >75% from 900 to 1 600 nm. The Verdet
