A composition diagram which compares various mixtures used for growing rare earth garnets is described. The flux components of PbOB 2 O 3 or PbOPbF 2 recommended for growth of either rare earth iron, gallium or aluminium garnets are expressed in terms of a pseudoternary diagram. The crystals discussed in this paper are Eu 3 Fe 5 O 12 , Eu 3 Ga 5 O 12 , Tm 3 Al 5 O 12 , Tm 3 Ga 5 O 12 , Yb 3 Ga 5 O 12 , and Yb 3 Fe 2 Ga 3 O 12 . The crystals are characterized by lattice constant, morphology, and in some cases, by magnetic susceptibility data.
