Welcome

Single crystals are essential to explore the physical properties of new materials. Among the known crystal growth techniques, floating zone technique has recently achieved a significant development which will enable not only the synthesis of new materials, but also allow for higher valency state transition metal ions.  This will open up a tremendous opportunity to explore the unconventional electronic correlations and frustrated magnetism. 
The aim of this workshop is to bring the crystal growth community closer to share their experience and discuss the developments in particular floating zone growth.  This workshop, which followed on from the previous workshops (2013, 2016) held at IFW, Dresden, Germany, will take place at Oriel College in the historic city of Oxford.
