Abstract
Cu3Nb2O8 belongs to a new multiferroic family with coexisting structure and magnetic chiralities. In this work, we report on the flux growth of Cu3Nb2O8 single crystals using a V2O5-K2MoO4 mixture as the flux with a 5:1 ratio. The obtained crystals have an average size of 3×3×2mm3 and high quality determined from X-ray diffraction, specific heat and susceptibility measurements. The experimental results on the single crystals reveal robust anomalies at 26.2K and 24.5K in specific heat and magnetic anisotropy along different crystallographic axes, which provide a better understanding of this fascinating multiferroic compound.
