Abstract

A new method for preparation of Mn-Zn or Ni-Zn type ferrite single crystals. The ferrite materials are provided in a lower portion of a crucible and completely dissolved. The crucible is moved within a predetermined atmosphere of temperature gradient. A solid which is equilibrium in composition to the ferrite materials is supplied into the crucible while the dissolved ferrite materials are crystallizing from the lower extremity while a liquid-phase zone is maintained constant in depth. Ferrite single crystals of at least about 800 mm in length are grown which are homogeneous in composition throughout their length.
