Abstract
Until recently, techniques for growing intermetallic compounds with high vapor pressures at their melting points have only produced relatively low quality crystals. A new technique for growing ultra‐high‐purity crystals of such compounds has been developed. The sample is held in a water‐cooled copper boat under 10 atm of one part per billion impurity argon while being heated by rf induction. Using this system high‐purity crystals of CePb3 are grown and their resistivity compared to ones grown by a standard arc furnace technique.
