To investigate chiral properties, it is important to prepare the enantiopure crystals. We grow a large enantiopure crystal of inorganic chiral magnet YbNi3Al9 via the flux method with a temperature gradient. This material has attracted attention because the occurrence of a nonlinear magnetic order called the chiral soliton lattice is firstly reported in the f-electron system. We have succeeded in obtaining an enantiopure crystal with a mass of 50 mg.
