The synthesis, structural description, temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities and field magnetizations of a series rare earth garnets the form Li3RE3Te2O12 (RE = Y, La, Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu) are reported. structure Li3Dy3Te2O12 is refined from powder X-ray diffraction data. saturate for some members by 9 Tesla at 2 K. Of particular interest further study in this family behavior Tb, Dy Yb garnets.
