Abstract
This article aims to introduce several synthesis methods to grow single-crystalline samples, which are widely used in experimental condensed matter physics studies. In order to understand the crystal growth in high-temperature melts, the concept of congruent/incongruent melting is explained based on a binary phase diagram. Then principles and practices of the Czochralski, flux-growth, and floating-zone growth methods are described. In addition, the chemical vapor transport method is briefly mentioned.
