Double perovskites have received a great deal of attention in recent times due to their magnetic properties. However, the vast majority of experimental data thus far in this field has been generated with powder samples resulting in numerous open questions concerning the underlying principles governing the magnetic properties of these complex oxides. Here it is shown that, using a flux method, double perovskite iridate single crystals as large as 3 mm with formula La2BIrO6 (B = Co, Mg, Zn) have been grown. The structure and properties of the crystals are characterized and are in agreement with previous powder data. Therefore, future more detailed experiments will be possible.
