遷移金属酸化物および水酸化物の水熱合成と磁性の研究

Hydrothermal synthesis, which is a type of the high-pressure syntheses, has been known as a useful method for single-crystal growth. We utilize this method for searching novel materials. In the beginning of this article, we give a brief explanation about the method. Next we report the crystal structures and exotic magnetic properties of several novel compounds that we discovered. We also show our attempts to obtain pure single crystals of several natural minerals which exhibit interesting magnetism arising from the geometric frustration.
