Problem 14
The formula for samarium iron garnet \(\left(\mathrm{Sm}_{3} \mathrm{Fe}_{5} \mathrm{O}_{12}\right)\) may be written in the form \(\mathrm{Sm}_{3}^{c} \mathrm{Fe}_{2}^{a} \mathrm{Fe}_{3}^{d} \mathrm{O}_{12},\) where the superscripts \(a, c\) and \(d\) represent different sites on which the \(\mathrm{Sm}^{3+}\) and \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) ions are located.
