7 July 2021 - Paglione Group Meeting

In my discussion, I went over my notes from JAH007, JAH008, JAH009 growths as outlines in this summary.

JP suggests that we take a good sample like JAH008 or so and basically "reverse gradient" to transfer the Bi back to the other end at a low temperature (may 300-400 C).
the idea is that we could be left with just the nice needles and remove the "flux"
JP also likes the idea (his idea previously) of doing an off-stoichiometric trial as well
JP seemed to agree that Cl may also be a good option

During Dan's discussion, the idea of using a Wheatstone bridge (similar to the AC-ECE setup) for thermal Conductivity sounds like an interesting idea
This would be something to consider since we are in the process of planning the VTI TC setup.
I will post a separate note for Wheatstone bridge TC setup.
