Growth of La1-xBaxCoO3 Single Crystals and their Structural and Magnetic Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

La1-xBaxCoO3 single crystals were grown from KOH melt at 873 K under H2O/O2 mixed gas flow. The grown crystals had a parallelepiped form with the edges of about 60 μm. Streaks indicating twin boundaries were observed on the surface planes of the crystals. The crystals showed magnetic anisotropy and anomalous MH hysteresis loops. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy and coupling of ferroelasticity and ferromagnetism were discussed based on the magnetic properties.
