Iron(IV)- and ruthenium(IV)-containing perovskite-related phases have proven rich in novel physics. SrFeO3−x exhibits a wide variety of unusual magnetic phases, from five distinct types of helical magnetism at x=0 [1] to a phase with frustrated, disordered Fe4+ moments at x=0.25 [2]. The Ru-based intergrowth phase Sr3Ru2O7 exhibits metamagnetic quantum critical points in field. However, the magnetic phase diagram of its Fe4+ analogue Sr3Fe2O7−δ remains largely unexplored. We report the crystal growth, oxygen annealing, and characterization of large single-crystalline samples of Sr3Fe2O7−δ suitable for neutron diffraction experiments. This work lays the foundation for comprehensive doping-dependent studies of Sr3Fe2O7−δ’s magnetic phase diagram and magnetic excitations.
