Magnetic susceptibility of several germanium garnets

The first hafnium germanate with garnet-type of structure: Mild hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and new mechanism of hydroxyl inclusion

“…Garnets are common rock-forming minerals and often referred as a petrochronometer for accurate determination of the age of rocks [2]. Since the discovery of the ferrimagnetic ferrogamets and laser technology the garnet-type of solids became a main stream of fundamental and application research [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. For more than 50 years the elemental diversity of the synthetic garnets was extended far beyond their natural counterparts.…”
