Transition metal halides can host a large variety of novel phenomena, such as magnetism in the monolayer limit, quantum spin liquid and spiral spin liquid states, and topological magnons and phonons. Sizeable high quality single crystals…
The article comprises structural, microstructural, and physical properties analysis of Bi2Se3-xTex (x= 0, 1, 2 and 3) mixed topological insulator (MTI) single crystals. All the crystals were grown through a well-optimized solid-state…
As a sister compound and isostructural of MnBi2Te4, the high quality MnSb2Te4 single crystals are grown via solid-state reaction where prolonged annealing and narrow temperature window play critical roles on account of its thermal…
We present a study on the growth and characterization of high-quality single-layer MoS$_2$ with a single orientation, i.e. without the presence of mirror domains. This single orientation of the MoS$_2$ layer is established by means of x-ray…
A new crystal growth technique for single-crystals of REFeAsO (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) using NaI/KI as flux is presented. Crystals with a size up to 300 $\mu$m were isolated for single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements.…
Magnetic topological semimetals LnSbTe (Ln = lanthanide elements) provide a platform to study the interplay of structure, magnetism, topology, and electron correlations. Varying Sb and Te compositions in LnSbxTe2-x can effectively control…
The work is necessitated by search for new materials to detect ionizing radiation. The rare-earth ions doped with ternary alkali earth-halide systems are promising scintillators showing high efficiency and energy resolution. Some aspects of…
We report on the growth of Y2Ti2O7 single crystals by optical floating zone technique. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy studies confirm the structural quality of the crystal. The UV-Vis optical studies reveal that the grown crystals…
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of monolayer VTe2 grown on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite by molecular-beam epitaxy. Using various in-situ microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, including scanning tunneling…
The crux of understanding the superconducting mechanism in pressurized Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates hinges on elucidating their structural phases. Under ambient conditions, the trilayer nickelate La4Ni3O10 stabilizes in a twinned monoclinic…
Single crystals of FeSe_1-x_Te_x_ (0.5=<x=<1) have been grown by the Bridgman method. After annealing them at 400 deg for 100 h in vacuum, single crystals of x=0.5-0.9 have exhibited bulk superconductivity. Anisotropic properties of the…
SnSe is a promising thermoelectric material with record-breaking figure of merit, \textit{i.e., ZT}. As a semiconductor, optimal electrical dosage is the key challenge to maximize \textit{ZT} in SnSe. However, to date a comprehensive…
We report single crystal growth of the series of CeTAl$_3$ compounds with T = Cu, Ag, Au, Pd and Pt by means of optical float zoning. High crystalline quality was confirmed in a thorough characterization process. With the exception of…
Incorporation of $\mathrm{Al_{y}Ga_{1-y}N}$ (AGN) semiconductors into high power electronics offers efficiency improvements in power transmission, generation, and use, if approaches to eliminate the defects arising from film-lattice…
We present the crystal growth as well as the structural, chemical and physical chracterization of SmRh$_2$Si$_2$ single crystals. Their ground state is antiferromagnetic, as indicated by the behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility and the…
High quality single crystals of WTe$_2$ were grown using a Te flux followed by a cleaning step involving self-vapor transport. The method is reproducible and yields consistently higher quality single crystals than are typically obtained via…
Single crystals of Zn_(1-x)Mn_xIn_2Se_4 were grown by the chemical vapour phase transport technique (CVT). The Mn concentration was varied from x=1 to x=0.01. Through X-rays powder diffraction patterns and Laue diagrams of single crystals…
Shaping low-dimensional crystals into precise geometries with low disorder is an outstanding challenge. Here, we present a method to grow single crystals of arbitrary geometry within van der Waals (vdW) materials. By injecting molten…
