16. 3, 2 ppm for B, 1040 ppm for LaB6, and 2 ppm for Al. On the basis of these values, we can explain Fe impurity less than 50 ppm in the single crystals by assuming that the Fe impurity of starting materials was slightly condensed to the crystals in the process of flux growth. However, for the one with the largest ferromagnetic moment (1 emu/mol), which has 1000-ppm Fe impurity, we guess that it is owing to an accidental contamination during synthesis.
