Abstract
A garnet crystal for growing a substrate is used in manufacturing a magneto-optic element. The garnet is manufactured by a Czochralski method and has a chemical structure represented by La.sub.8-(x+y) Yb.sub.x Ga.sub.y O.sub.12 wherein x has the range 1.0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.3.0, y has the range 2.5.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.4.5, and (x+y) has the range 5.0.ltoreq.(x+y).ltoreq.6.5. The garnet crystal is grown from a melt prepared by heating a mixture of gadolinium oxide, ytterbium oxide, and gallium oxide in a crucible, the oxides being mixed together in a weight proportion such that the atomic proportion is La:Yb:Ga=3:p:q wherein p has the range 1.0.ltoreq.p.ltoreq.3.0 and q has the range 2.0.ltoreq.q.ltoreq.4.5.
