摘要
The synthesis of single crystals of plutonium intermetallic compounds by the molten-metal flux growth technique is reviewed. The growth conditions, crystal structure, and physical properties including magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and electrical resistivity of the binary and ternary Pu-based single crystals synthesized at Los Alamos National Laboratory are discussed.
