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 report on the growth of stoichiometric Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ single crystals, which allow us to unveil their intrinsic magnetic properties. The effect of different growth conditions has been investigated for crystals grown by the flux method. We…
Measurements of the anisotropic properties of single crystals play a crucial role in probing the physics of new materials. Determining a growth protocol that yields suitable high-quality single crystals can be particularly challenging for…
Layered ruthenates are prototype materials with strong structure-property correlations. We report the structural and physical properties of double-layered perovskite Sr3(Ru1-xMnx)2O7 single crystals with 0<=x<=0.7. Single crystal x-ray…
High quality single crystals of Cs$_2$Au$_2$X$_6$ (X=Br,I) were grown using a ternary self-flux method. Structural refinements based on single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements show that both materials have a distorted perovskite…
Mm-sized LiMn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$PO$_4$ single crystals with $0\leq x \leq 1$ were grown by means of the traveling floating-zone technique at elevated Argon pressure of 30~bar. For the various doping levels, the growth process was optimized with…
