Floating-zone growth of Na(0.8-y)A(y)CoO(2) (A=Ca, Sr) single crystals
Single crystals of Na0.8-yAyCoO2 (A=Ca, Sr; y=0.10.3) have been grown using the optical floating-zone method for the first time. We have determined the optimum growth conditions to grow the highest quality single crystals. Columnar growth behavior has been observed for the higher doped samples. The...
