Abstract: Textured CrSi$_2$ crystals obtained by heating finely dispersed constituents (Si, Cr) are studied. The use of a mixture of Cr and Si powders makes it possible to lower the CrSi$_2$ synthesis temperature by 100 K. Crystallization conditions and post-crystallization annealing are found to influence the thermoelectric properties and composition of samples.
