Infrared imaging furnace was used to grow single crystals of Ba 2 YRu 1‐x Cu x O 6 and Ba 2 PrRu 1‐x Cu x O 6 using high temperature solutions of PbO‐PbF 2 in the form of a bubble attached to the feed rods. Several small crystals were found deposited on the cooler portions of the sintered rod as well as in the drop like portion at the end of the rod. These crystals were collected and the morphology, microstructure and magnetic properties were studied. The details of these investigations are presented. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
