abstract = {We report the design of a radio-frequency induction-heated
rod casting furnace that permits the preparation of
polycrystalline ingots of intermetallic compounds under
ultra-high vacuum compatible conditions. The central part of
the system is a bespoke water-cooled Hukin crucible
supporting a casting mold. Depending on the choice of the
mold, typical rods have a diameter between 6 mm and 10 mm
and a length up to 90 mm, suitable for single-crystal growth
by means of float-zoning. The setup is all-metal sealed and
may be baked out. We find that the resulting ultra-high
vacuum represents an important precondition for processing
compounds with high vapor pressures under a high-purity
argon atmosphere up to 3 bars. Using the rod casting
furnace, we succeeded to prepare large high-quality single
crystals of two half-Heusler compounds, namely, the
itinerant antiferromagnet CuMnSb and the half-metallic
ferromagnet NiMnSb.},
