Floating-zone growth of KxFe2-ySe2 single crystals
The discovery of superconductivity at temperatures above 30 K in KxFe2-ySe2 compounds has attracted considerable attention [1]. The crystal structure of KxFe2-ySe2 descends from the well-known ThCr2Si2 structure with vacancies at the Fe sites. It was soon found that magnetism and superconductivity coexist in AxFe2-ySe2 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) [2-3]. Even in single crystals which show full shielding...
متن کاملMesoscale martensitic transformation in single crystals of topological defects.
Liquid-crystal blue phases (BPs) are highly ordered at two levels. Molecules exhibit orientational order at nanometer length scales, while chirality leads to ordered arrays of double-twisted cylinders over micrometer scales. Past studies of polycrystalline BPs were challenged by the existence of grain boundaries between randomly oriented crystalline nanodomains. Here, the nucleation of BPs is c...
متن کاملOn the Chemistry and Physical Properties of Flux and Floating Zone Grown SmB6 Single Crystals
Recent theoretical and experimental findings suggest the long-known but not well understood low temperature resistance plateau of SmB6 may originate from protected surface states arising from a topologically non-trivial bulk band structure having strong Kondo hybridization. Yet others have ascribed this feature to impurities, vacancies, and surface reconstructions. Given the typical methods use...
متن کاملFloating Zone Growth of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy Superconductor
The crystal growth of high-temperature oxide superconductors has been hampered by the complexities of these materials and the lack of knowledge of corresponding phase diagrams. The most common crystal growth technique adopted for these materials is the so-called “Flux” method. This method, however, suffers from several drawbacks: (i) crystals are often crucible and flux contaminated; (ii) cryst...
متن کاملFocused laser beams and liquid crystals: fast three-dimensional imaging of structures and topological defects
We show how a tightly focused laser beam can serve as a tool to image complex patterns of the director using the technique of fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy (FCPM). We expand the capabilities of FCPM into the domain of real-time scanning in order to study the dynamic processes at the time scale of about 1ms. In this approach which we call Fast FCPM, confocal imaging is performed us...
