Abstract
Epitaxial film of a layered cobalt oxide, Ca3Co4 O9, was fabricated on a (0001)-face of alpha-Al2 O3 substrate by a topotactic ion exchange method using a Na0.8CoO2 epitaxial film as a precursor. High-resolution X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscope measurements revealed that the film was high-quality (001)-oriented Ca 3Co4O9 with stepped & terraced surface morphology. The film exhibits a high electrical conductivity of 2.95 times 102 Scm-1 and a large Seebeck coefficient of ~+125 muVK-1, which leads to the thermoelectric power factor of 4.5 times 10-4 Wm-1 K-1 at 300 K
