Abstract

The method used to prepare large single crystals of some rare earth metals and intermetallic compounds is described. A levitated molten zone is passed along a rod shaped sample which is contained in a cold crucible in the horizontal position. The high frequency power system used to both create and levitate the molten zone is also described. The conditions required to grow crystals larger than one cubic centimeter of both incongruwnt and congruent melting compounds are given. The quality and some pertinent property values of the crystals as determined by X-ray and metallographic methods are included.
