Abstract
The magnetic linear birefringence (MLB) for paramagnetic rare-earth (RE) garnets with RE from Tb to Yb is analyzed taking into account the splittings of excited configurations 4 f N−1 5 d( g). Theoretical results are compared with available experimental data. Agreement is found for all RE garnets investigated with RE ions from Tb to Tm (Ho included), except for Yb.
