Structural, resistivity and magnetic properties of millimeter-sized HfAl3 single crystals grown from Al flux
HfAl3 single crystals were successfully grown from Al flux for the first time. The largest as-grown plate-like crystals reached dimensions of 4 × 2 × 0.05 mm3. Comprehensive characterization including scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction confirmed homogeneous chemical composition and phase purity. Magnetic measurements revealed weak diamagnetic behavior between 2 − 300 K, while electrical resistivity exhibited typical metallic conduction with a linear temperature dependence above 80 K. This work establishes a foundation for further investigation of the anisotropic physical properties of HfAl3.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
