To make headway in understanding the physics of materials, high quality single crystals are essential. In this talk, I will present an overview of the crystal growth of various oxides (magnetic and multiferroic) by the floating zone technique using optical furnaces. I will also describe the crystal growth of some non-centrosymmetric superconductors and Topological Insulators by the Czochralski technique and Bridgman methods respectively. The investigation of the properties of the magnetic and multiferroic oxides, as well as preliminary investigations of the superconductors will be presented.
