The preparation and saturation magnetization of yttriumiron garnets containing various amounts of neodymium was investigated. The amount of neodymium which can be incorporated in the garnet structure was determined crystallographically and magnetically. The chemical analysis of the Nd/Y ratio was carried out by the counting of the characteristic x rays of neodymium produced by proton bombardment in a Van de Graaff accelerator. A compound with a formula of YNd/sub 2/Fe/sub 5/O/sub 12/ was found to be the richest iron garnet containing neodymium and has a saturation magnetization, at room temperature, of 4.25 plus or minus 0.13 Bohr magnetons per formula weight compared to that of 3.55 plus or minus 0.13 of Y/sub 3/Fe/sub 5/O/sub 12/ or Sm/sub 3/Fe/sub 5/O/sub 12/.
