The LaCoO 3 single crystal, 4 mm in diameter and 30 mm in length, has been grown by optical floating zone method. The magnetic measurements show that the coercivity and the remanence are 5 Oe and 1.5 × 10-3 emu/g at 5 K, respectively. The ZFC and FC magnetic susceptibility curves overlap and the 1/χ(T) curve shows a linear variation over the interval 5 K < T < 35 K in 1000 Oe. As the temperature increases from 35 K to 90 K, the ZFC curve in 1000 Oe firstly reduces nonlinearly, and then appears as a wave crest. The χ under ZFC is higher than that under FC in the temperature range of 55~90 K. In 50 000 Oe, a slope change of 1/χ(T) at about 12 K is observed.

We report the single-crystal growth of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4, on which research has reached a turning point recently. In order to optimize the quality of crystals grown by the floating-zone method using an infrared image furnace, we focus on an improvement of the structure of the filament in the halogen lamps. By reducing the thickness of the total filament, the form of the molten zone was narrowed. More importantly, the molten zone was observed to be more stable during the growth process. Finally, we obtained the crystals with a length of 12 cm. Additionally, the grown crystal has high quality, displaying the 1.5 K transition temperature expected only for the purest crystals. We also discuss the availability of the newly developed halogen lamps.

A high-quality and large-sized GdB6 single crystal was successfully prepared by using the optical floating zone method to accurately control the temperature and composition of the molten zone.
