Notes:
Y3Al5O12 (YAG) is one of the important and extensively used solid state laser hostmaterials. YAG nanocrystals were synthesized by low temperature glycol method. This is amodified sol–gel method performed at low temperature that consists of a mixture of salts, mostlynitrates in an aqueous media. Single phase nanocrystalline YAG was obtained at 850 °C, which islower temperature compared to the other methods such as wet-chemical method. This is however,little higher than the material made by alkoxide sol–gel process. The structural characterization isdone by powder XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. The crystallite sizes range from 20-50 nm for thematerials prepared at 850- 950 °C
