Pulsed laser deposition growth of FeSb2 films for thermoelectric applications

► Nearly phase-pure FeSb2 films were produced by pulsed laser deposition. ► The Influence of growth parameters on the growth of FeSb2 films was investigated. ► Thermoelectric properties of the FeSb2 films were studied. ► Longer deposition time leads to higher peak thermopower values of the FeSb2 films.
