## Abstract Large, high optical quality single crystals of ruby have been grown successfully by the floating zone method under air atmosphere. The size of the grown crystal is typically 60โ70 mm in length and 7โ8 mm in diameter. The obtained crystals were red and did not have any macroscopic defect

Abstract
A novel route to engineer Sr~2~RuO~4~/Sr~3~Ru~2~O~7~ and Sr~3~Ru~2~O~7~/Sr~4~Ru~3~O~10~ natural junctions has been successfully pursued by eutectic solidification in a doubleโmirror optical floating zone furnace in the flux feeding floating zone configuration with Ru selfโflux. The synthesis procedure of the polycrystalline rod is found to be a critical factor for the crystal growth. Both eutectic systems grow in the [100] direction and cleave in the a โb plane as the single phase crystals. Extensive XRD and SEM studies show that the nature of the eutectic solidification enables the displacement of the two phases in an ordered lamellar pattern piling up along the crystallographic cโaxis.
