Abstract: We measured thermopower, thermal conductivity and electrical resitivity for Ca2Sn sample across 4-350 K temperature range.Contrary to expectations from recent DFT based calculations the thermopower is not particularly large, reaching 7 µV at 350 K.The thermoelectric figure of merit renders this material in unmodified form practically unusable for thermoelectric aplications.
