Large-size Single Crystal Growth for Quantum Materials by Czochraski method

Quantum materials (QMs) have garnered significant attention due to their captivating quantum properties, notably quantum entanglement. This interest is motivated by the potential of quantum materials to offer innovative prospects for quantum applications. However, despite the heightened interest, the development of quantum materials suitable for practical applications remains a formidable challenge. This challenge arises from the difficulty of identifying quantum entanglement within materials using existing experimental equipment that lacks the necessary sensitivity. The simplest and most effective approach to addressing the challenge is to grow large-sized, high-quality single crystals that maximize the signals in measurements beyond the sensitivity of experimental tools. Here, we introduce several crystal growth methods that facilitate the growth of large single crystals and discuss their practical application in recent quantum material research.
