The floating zone method using an image furnace under reducing atmosphere has proven successful in growing high-quality LuVO 3 single crystals with the largest dimensions to date. Crystals of several mm 3 in dimension, and thus large enough for Resonant X-ray Scattering measurements have been obtained, and the growth strategy, described in detail, could be in principle easily extendable to other members of the REVO 3 perovskite class. Crystal quality was checked by Laue photographs and structural analysis of LuVO 3 was performed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. © 2012 ElsevierB.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The floating zone method using an image furnace under reducing atmosphere has proven successful in growing high-quality LuVO 3 single crystals with the largest dimensions to date. Crystals of several mm 3 in dimension, and thus large enough for Resonant X-ray Scattering measurements have been obtained, and the growth strategy, described in detail, could be in principle easily extendable to other members of the REVO 3 perovskite class. Crystal quality was checked by Laue photographs and structural analysis of LuVO 3 was performed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. © 2012 ElsevierB.V. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
