Abstract
The rare-earth palladium silicides host an array of complex magnetic phases. In this paper, we report the growth of large single crystals of the PdSi3 family, (where Ce, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho and Er) by the floating zone technique using a high-power xenon arc-lamp furnace. The crystal boules obtained have been examined for their quality using x-ray diffraction techniques, elemental analysis, and their magnetic properties have been investigated through temperature dependent magnetisation measurements.
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.
