Single-phase garnet solid solutions can be synthesized between the composition limits of x = 4.18 and x = 4.22 in Y/sub 2/./sub 66/Gd/sub 0/./sub 34/ Fe/sub x/Al/sub 0/./sub 677/Mn/sub 0/./sub 09/O/sub 12/ at temperatures between 1340 and 1500/sup 0/C in O/sub 2/. Solid solutions occur only on the Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/-excess side of the stoichiometric garnet composition. Electromagnetic properties and microstructural features of sintered garnets depend critically on small changes in Fe content in the vicinity of the garnet solid-solution region. An intergranular spinel-type second phase exists for compositions when x is greater than 4.22 and has a deleterious effect on remanent induction and magnetic loss at 3 GHz. The relative density of powder compacts sintered for 16 h at 1500/sup 0/C in O/sub 2/ increases with increasing Fe content (i.e., as x increases) in the garnet solid solution. (auth)
