Abstract

To make headway on any problem in physics, high-quality single crystals are required. In this talk, special emphasis will he placed on the crystal growth of various oxides (superconductors and magnetic materials), borides and carbides using the. image furnaces at Warwick. The floating zone method of crystal growth used in these furnaces produces crystals of superior quality, circumventing many of the problems associated with, for example, flux growth from the melt. This method enables the growth of large volumes of crystal, a prerequisite especially for experiments using neutron beams. Some examples of experimental results from crystals grown at Warwick, selected from numerous in-house studies and our collaborative research projects with other UK and international groups will be discussed.
