Polycrystalline ceramics with garnet structure were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. A dielectric relaxor behavior at low temperature was observed which may come from the dipolar effects associated with the charge carrier hopping between and . It is noticeable that their magnetodielectric (MD) properties are excellent since the applied small magnetic fields can dramatically change the dielectric constants of ceramics. The origin of the MD effect is discussed.
