Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is a kind of synthetic garnet, with chemical composition Y3Fe2(FeO4)3, or Y3Fe5O12. It is a ferrimagnetic material[1] with a Curie temperature of 560 K.[2] YIG may also be known as yttrium ferrite garnet, or as iron yttrium oxide or yttrium iron oxide, the latter two names usually associated with powdered forms.[3]

In YIG, the five iron(III) ions occupy two

rare-earth elements, for example, interesting magnetic properties can be obtained.[4]

YIG has a high

superconductors.[9]

YIG is used in

data storage, and in various nonlinear optics applications.[11]
