Thermoelectric Properties of Co-Substituted Al–Pd–Re Icosahedral Quasicrystals

The practical application of quasicrystals (QCs) as thermoelectric materials makes icosahedral (i-) Al–Pd–Re QC attractive because of its moderate electrical conductivity (~280 Ω−1 cm−1), relatively high Seebeck coefficient (~100 μV K−1), and low thermal conductivity (~1.3 W m−1 K−1) at room tempera...
