Single crystals of the ScFe4Al8 intermetallic compound were obtained by the
Czochralski method from a levitated melt. The X-ray powder diffraction, La
ue and Berg-Barrett reflection topographies exhibit that the obtained singl
e crystals were a good quality. The lattice parameters a = 8.652 +/- 0.004
Angstrom, c = 5.020 +/- 0.003 Angstrom were calculated from powder diffract
ion patterns.
