High-pressure floating zone crystal growth of Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$

S. J. Gomez Alvarado, Y. Pang, P. A. Barrera +7

Here we demonstrate the floating zone crystal growth of the $J_{\mathrm{eff}}=1/2$ Mott insulator Sr${}_2$IrO${}_4$. Historically, the growth of iridates from a ternary melt has been pre…
