Yttrium aluminum oxide, often referred to as yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), is a crystalline material with the chemical formula Y₃Al₅O₁₂.The crystal structure is often cubic, and YAG belongs to the garnet family of compounds.The density of YAG is relatively high.
Features:
Yttrium aluminum oxide, commonly known as yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), exhibits several characteristics that make it valuable for various applications.
Applications:
YAG is widely used as the host material for neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers. Nd:YAG lasers find applications in industrial, medical, and military fields for cutting, welding, medical procedures, and rangefinding.
