## Description

- description: 'This review describes the recent progress of the floating-zone techniques
    for bulk single-crystal growth. The most crucial point of the crucible-free technique
    is to keep the molten zone stable. It has been investigated to yield a steeper
    temperature gradient at the liquid-solid interface along the growth direction
    and a homogeneous molten liquid along the rotation axis. We overview sev-eral
    recent achievements starting from the conventional setup, particularly for lamps
    equipped in horizontal or vertical configurations, tilting mirrors, shielding
    the irradiation, and filament sizes for the optical-lamp floating-zone furnaces.
    Also, we describe the recently advancing laser-heated floating-zone furnaces.
    Throughout the article, we emphasize that the floating-zone technique has been
    a powerful tool for crystal growth since the 1950s with its roots in the zone-melting
    method, and it has still been advancing for further materials growth such as quantum
    materials with modern scientific concepts. '
