Flux growth at ambient pressure of millimeter-sized single crystals of LaFeAsO, LaFeAsO1−xFx, and LaFe1−xCoxAsO

Abstract: Millimeter-sized single crystals of LaFeAsO, LaFeAsO 1-x F x , and LaFe 1-x Co x AsO were grown in NaAs flux at ambient pressure. The detailed growth procedure and crystal characterizations are reported. The as-grown crystals have typical dimensions of 3 × 4 × 0.05-0.3 mm 3 with the crystallographic c-axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate-like single crystals. Some crystals manifest linear dimensions as large as 4-5 mm. X-ray and neutron single crystal scattering confirmed that LaFeAsO crystals exhibit … Show more

“…19 An 8-mg platelike crystal with a c axis perpendicular to its surface was used for all the investigations reported here. X-ray powder diffraction of crushed crystals from the same growth batch confirm the P 4/nmm space group with lattice constants a = 3.988Å and c = 8.552Å (lattice constants at room temperature are also consistent with those obtained from the crystal in this study).…”

“…The refined structural parameters listed in Table I are in agreement with previous reports. 7,14 Figure 3 shows the temperature evolution of the structural and magnetic transitions in the single crystal measured by neutron diffraction on HB-1A. For the structural transition, the ͑400͒ O / ͑040͒ O and ͑006͒ O ͑Cmma͒ reflections were monitored.…”
