英文摘要：

The basic principles of single crystal growth by the travelling heater method（THM）, as well as itsadvantages and disadvantages are introduced. The latest progress is also reported. The influences of different process parameters are discussed on crystal quality prepared by THM, such as magnetic field, ACRT（Accelerated crucible ro- tation technique）, gravitational field, growth velocity, temperature and so on. Views on how to increase crystal growth velocity, the research methods and development tendency of THM in the future are also giver~
