Structural, microstructural, transport properties (temperature dependence of resistivity, thermoelectric power) of the samples fabricated were investigated in details. The structural/microstructural investigations showed that complex and multiphase crystallographic structure was formed with the B-substitution. A decrease in the grain size was observed in the B-substituted samples. The resistivity increased with the substitution due to decrease in the grain size and weak-link among the grains. It is found that that the thermoelectric power is insensitive to the B-substitution. The highest power factor value was obtained in the x = 0.0 sample, however, it decreased in the B-substituted samples.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCa3co4o9 Thin-FilmsArticle24114406441010.1007/s10854-013-1417-62-s2.0-84887126621Q2WOS:000326047300041Q1
