摘要
Compounds with a Kagome type lattice are known to exhibit magnetic frustration. Large single crystals of two compounds, Ni3V2O8 and Co3V2O8, which are variants of a Kagome net lattice, have been grown successfully by the floating zone technique using an optical image furnace. The single crystals are of high quality and exhibit intriguing magnetic properties.
