Abstract

In this MRS Proceedings paper, we present a review of the floating zone growth process, and describe growth techniques as relevant to four selected families of current or continued interest in the area of condensed matter physics of highly correlated electron systems: Cuprate oxides (Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy), Ruthenate oxides (Sr2RuO4), Manganite oxides (La1-xSrxMnO3, La2–2xSr1+2xMn2O7, (RE) MnO3 (RE=Rare Earth)) and Ferrite oxides (BiFeO3). We also discuss our experiences with factors that tend to contribute to poor crystal growth, as relevant to experiments to probe correlated-electron physics in such crystals.
