Abstract
The dielectric properties of a series of yttrium-iron garnet single crystals of different structural and optical quality are investigated in the IR range (400–1000 cm−1). Some regularities of the dependence of the permittivity ε∞ of the garnet samples on the charge-carrier fraction (the parameter k/nk) are revealed. The maximum values of ε∞ are found for the samples containing magnetoactive Sm and Mn ions as dominant impurities, which increase the concentration of conduction electrons and, therefore, provide large values of k/nk. A correlation between ε∞ of the Y3Fe5O12 samples and the concentration of oxygen ions is established.
