Fluorescent and luminescent materials, such
as yttrium aluminum garnet doped with different metal ions (rare earths or transition metals), have found applicability in various fields, from optoelectronics (i.e.: lighting systems, LCDs, CRTs, lasers) to aerospace (i.e: thermal barriers) and biotechnological applications (i.e.: fluorescence marker, contrast agent in medical imaging, imaging screens, drug delivery etc).

Previous research has shown that it is possible to mix platinum with other metals, such
as yttrium, to reduce the amount of platinum in a fuel cell.
To do so, the researchers coupled the platinum to a layer of a magnetic insulator, a material known
as yttrium iron garnet.
