摘要: Abstract We have studied crystal structure and transport properties of the quasi one-dimensional cobalt oxide CaCo2O4. The CaCo2O4 phase crystallizes in calcium-ferrite type structure, which consists a corner- edge-shared CoO6 octahedron network including double chains. Large thermoelectric power (S ∼ 150 μV/K at 390 K) with metallic temperature dependence S, moderate resistivity (ρ ∼ 2.9 × 10−1 Ω cm carrier localization low temperature, normal thermal conductivity (κ ∼ 6.3 W/Km were observed. phonon mean-free path was calculated from observed data, as function temperature. long (l ∼ 24 A 300 K) implies that could be suppressed by impurity scattering phonons partial element substitution.
