Magnesium diboride (MgB2) single crystals, with a maximum size of 0.5×0.5×0.02 mm3, were grown by the vapor transport method in a sealed molybdenum crucible. A superconducting transition with the onset temperature of 38.6 K was confirmed by both transport and magnetization measurements. The upper critical field anisotropy ratio, Hc2∥ab(0)/Hc2∥c(0), was estimated to be 2.6 from the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram for MgB2 single crystals.
