The various classes of multicomponent intermetallic rare earth-transition metal-compounds offer a great potential of outstanding properties. A bulk single crystal (d=6mm, l=50mm) of ErPd2Si2 compound has been successfully grown at a velocity of 10 mm/h by using floating zone method with optical heating. X-ray Laue back-scattering analysis indicates the crystal growth direction is close to [110] orientation with an inclination angle of 14.9∘ against the rod axis. Morphological observation and concentration measurement show element segregation occurs along the rod axis and the radius directions. The magnetic susceptibility of ErPd2Si2 single crystal reveals an antiferromagnetic ordering at about 4 K. The crystal structures, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, heat-capacity and magnetoresistance of different orientations are investigated in comparison with polycrystals. References:
