Single-Crystal Growth of a Cubic Laves-Phase Ferromagnet HoAl<sub>2</sub> by a Laser Floating-Zone Method

Single-Crystal Growth of a Cubic Laves-Phase Ferromagnet HoAl<sub>2</sub> by a Laser Floating-Zone Method

The successful growth of single crystals of a cubic Laves-phase material HoAl<sub>2</sub> with the space group <i>Fd</i>-3<i>m</i> is reported in this study. The crystals were grown by a floating-zone method with five laser diodes as a heat source. Al-rich feed ro...
