it can be seen from the table that the single crystals prepared by the method of the invention represent an effective anisotropy field range of from 17,000 oersteds axial in the case of ferroxdure (BaFe O to 22,000 oersteds planar in the case of BaEe lr Zn O Thus the method lends itself to the growing of single crystals in which one can control the anisotropy properties.
In the method of the invention, bismuth oxide (M 0 serves as the fluxing agent. The bismuth oxide acts as a solvent for the iridium. As oxidation of iridium metal at the temperatures and times employed is appreciable, the melt may contain iridium oxide or iridium metal.
It is preferred to use a platinum crucible in carrying out the method as the amount of iridium introduced can then be critically controlled. An excess of up to 50 mole percent iridium is introduced into the initial melt in view of the volatility of the iridium and the competing side reactions occurring during the formation of the single crystals. The amount of the iridium that will go into the single crystal is alsov determined by such factors as the maximum temperature to which the melt is raised and the cooling rate ofthe melt. The amount of iridium that can be introduced into the melt is controlled by its solubility in bismuth oxide at a particular temperature.
In the method, the initial mixture may contain from 45.5 to 50.0 mole percent Bi O 9.1 to 12.5 mole percent BaO, 27.3 to 37.5 mole percent F6203, 9.1 to 12.5 mole percent divalent metal from the group cobalt, nickel, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, or copper and 0 to 9.1 mole percent iridium.
The foregoing description is to be considered only as illustrative of the invention and not in limitation thereof.
What is claimed is:
1. The method of growing singlecrystals of the general formula BaEe (Ir Me )O Where Me is a divalent metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, and copper and where x is a number from 0.16 to 0.6 said method comprising (1) mixing (a) ferric oxide, ([7) barium oxide, (0) an 1 oxide of a divalent metal taken from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, and copper, (d) iridium and (e) bismuth oxide, (2) heating the mixture in a metallic crucible selected from the group consisting of platinum and iridium between 1200 and 1300 C., (3) slowly cooling the melt 1 to 4 C. per hour to 950 C., and (4) removingthe crystals from the crucible by leaching with 1020 percent by volume nitric acid.
2. The method according to claim 1 where single crystals of the formula BaFe 1r Zn O are grown.
3. The method according to claim 1 where singlecrystals of the formula BaFe lr Zn O are grown. 4. The method according to claim 1 where single crystals of the formula BaFe i'r Zn o are grown.
