Abstract
Single crystals of Co1−x Fe x TiO3 (1⩾x⩾0) solid-solution were grown by the floatingzone method using a lamp-heated furnace. Boules averaged 7 mm diameter and 40 to ∼70mm long and were found to be homogeneous as to the value ofx in 80 to ∼90% of the total length. Atmosphere control, employing a mixed gas flow of CO2 and H2, was essential for obtaining high-quality cyrstals.
