ABSTRACT
Large single crystals of Yb2Ge2O7 in the cubic Fd3Ì
m space group, are synthesized and characterized from a high-temperature hydrothermal method (650°C/200 MPa in 1 M KF). The cubic phase displays spin frustration and possibly nonclassical quantum-spin behavior at low temperature. This is the first report of single crystals of this important phase of size and quality suitable for single-crystal neutron diffraction.
