Single Crystal Growth


We complement our research endeavors with a strong effort on single crystal growth. For this, we commonly use the following techniques:

  • Molten flux method (see a reference to the method in I. R. Fisher et al. (2012)).
  • Physical vapor transport.
  • Electrochemical method.
  • Solid state reaction, as an intermediate step for growing crystals.

Here is a sample of the crystals we have grown in our group:
