We report on the growth condition and magnetic properties of SrCo2V2O8 crystal. High-quality single crystals with dimensions 3x3x6 mm(3) have been successfully grown from its stoichiometrical melt in air by spontaneous nucleation method. Preliminary magnetic measurements show large canted ferromagnetism and unusual paramagnetic anisotropy of the grown crystals. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
