## Abstract Nd~2~PdSi~3~ single crystals were grown by a vertical floating zone method with radiation heating at a zone traveling rate of 3 mm/h. The compound exhibits congruent melting behavior at a liquidus temperature of about 1790 Β°C. The actual crystal composition (35.3 Β± 0.5) at.% Nd, (16.2 Β±
