Single crystals of the Va group transition metal diborides, VB_2, NbB_2 and TaB_2, were prepared by the RF-heated floating zone method. Influence of the growth conditions on the crystal quality was examined. The growth directions and the micro-hardness were measured, and compared with the other diboride crystals, ZrB_2 and WB_2.
