Abstract
We review recent achievements in single crystal flux growths for selected families of novel candidate materials for thermoelectric conversion applications, and the resulting contributions towards a better understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in optimizing their intrinsic thermoelectric figures of merit, ZT. We also take the opportunity to compile a small list of tips and tricks that we and other researchers have developed over the years to facilitate or optimize flux growths in general – those finer details that do not normally make it into mainstream research publications.
