High thermoelectric performances of Bi–AE–Co–O compounds directionally growth from the melt

Bi2AE2Co2Ox (AE = Ca, Sr, and Ba) thermoelectric compounds were grown from the melt by the laser floating zone technique. Microstructural analysis of as-grown samples has shown the formation of well-aligned thermoelectric grains together with a relative high amount of secondary phases. On the other...
