The garnet, Lu/sub x/Sm/sub 3-x/Fe$sub 5$$O$$sub 12$, with x ranging from 1.5 to 1.9, has been epitaxially grown on gadolinium gallium garnet substrates by conventional LPE dipping techniques. This range of compositions has q greater than 1 and supports submicron diameter magnetic bubbles. For a x = 1.8 composition, the coercivity, H/sub c/, is 0.05 Oe and the anisotropy field, H/sub K/, is 4360 Oe. The wall mobility, $mu$, was measured by bubble translation and is 192 cm/sec-Oe for a x = 1.5 composition. Uniform skewing but no hard bubble behavior was observed in the bubble translational studies. Magnetic bubble T-bar permalloy circuits have been fabricated by E-Beam patterning and electroplating on these films. Quasistatic bubble propagation has been observed for 0.8 $mu$m diameter bubbles at a drive field of 100 Oe. (auth)
