Abstract
High-quality centimetric size single crystals of Sr-14-xCaxCu24O41 (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 12) have been successful ly grown using the travelling solvent floating zone (TSFZ) method asso ciated with an image furnace. We present the growth conditions togethe r with a characterization of the single crystals by means of optical a nd electron microscopy, EDX, X-ray powder diffraction, Laue X-ray back -reflection and neutron diffraction.
