Abstract

In the present review, the usefulness of aqueous sol-gel processes in the synthesis of garnet crystal structure compounds is discussed. The processing and characterization of yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG), lanthanide-doped YAG, lanthanide aluminium and gallium garnet materials, mixed-metal garnets and garnets containing silicon are described. The synthesis of garnet materials comprising nanoscale architectures is also discussed.
