A new modification of crystallizes at low temperatures from an amorphous material prepared by the hydrolysis of yttrium and iron double alkoxides. It has a hexagonal unit cell with and . Hexagonal transforms to the orthorhombic form at elevated temperatures. Solid solutions of hexagonal crystallize between 50 and 62.5 mole percent . The compound (YIG) is formed by transformation of the solid solution.
