In magnetic fields, thermal gradient-induced effects such as the Nernst and thermal Hall effects are significantly influenced by phonon drag, which works in conjunction with the force on electrons in a magnetic field. We introduce a method…
In this work we report Nernst effect measurements in single crystal bismuth samples, with special emphasis on the characterization of the Nernst coefficient when the magnetic field, heat current and generated voltage are aligned along…
Nernst effect is the transverse electric field due to a longitudinal thermal gradient in presence of magnetic field. Its magnitude was recently studied up to 33 T in a bismuth single crystal with a magnetic field oriented along the trigonal…
Based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we study the origin of the anomalous temperature dependence of the Nernst coefficient ($\nu$) due to the phonon-drag mechanism. For narrow-gap semiconductors, we find that there are two…
We report a theoretical calculation explaining the quantum Nernst effect observed experimentally in a bismuth single crystal. Generalizing the edge-current picture in two dimensions, we show that the peaks of the Nernst coefficient survive…
We report measurements of the thermopower $S$ and Nernst signal $S_{yx}$ in graphene in a magnetic field $H$. Both quantities show strong quantum oscillations vs. the gate voltage $V_g$. Our measurements for Landau Levels of index $n\ne 0$…
In typical thermoelectric energy harvesters and sensors, the Seebeck effect is caused by diffusion of electrons or holes in a temperature gradient. However, the Seebeck effect can also have a phonon drag component, due to momentum exchange…
The Seebeck effect and the Nernst effect, which reflect the appearance of electric fields along $x$-axis and along $y$-axis ($E_{x}$ and $E_{y}$), respectively, induced by the thermal gradient along $x$-axis, are studied in the QGP at an…
The large Nernst effect is advantageous for developing transverse Nernst thermoelectric generators or Ettingshausen coolers within a single component, avoiding the complexity of electron- and hole-modules in longitudinal Seebeck…
We study a model for the transverse thermoelectric response due to quantum superconducting fluctuations in a two-leg Josephson ladder, subject to a perpendicular magnetic field B and a transverse temperature gradient. The off-diagonal…
The thermopower and Nernst-Ettingshausen (NE) effect in degenerate semiconductors and semimetals placed in high electric and magnetic fields are calculated by taking into account the heating of both electrons and phonons as well as their…
A theory of low-temperature phonon-drag magnetothermopower $S_{xx}^g$ is presented in graphene in a quantizing magnetic field. $S_{xx}^g$ is found to exhibit quantum oscillations as a function of magnetic field $B$ and electron…
Thermoelectric modules are a promising approach to energy harvesting and efficient cooling. In addition to the longitudinal Seebeck effect, recently transverse devices utilizing the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) have attracted interest. For…
Thermoelectric properties of a model Skyrmion crystal were theoretically investigated, and it was found that its large anomalous Hall conductivity, corresponding to large Chern numbers induced by its peculiar spin structure leads to a large…
We describe an AC method for the measurement of the longitudinal (Sxx) and transverse (Sxy, i.e. Nernst) thermopower of mm-size single crystal samples at low temperatures (T<1 K) and high magnetic fields (B>30 T). A low-frequency (33 mHz)…
In elemental Bismuth, 10$^5$ atoms share a single itinerant electron. Therefore, a moderate magnetic field can confine electrons to the lowest Landau level. We report on the first study of metallic thermoelectricity in this regime. The main…
Thermoelectricity was discovered almost two centuries ago in bismuth. The large and negative Seebeck coefficient of this semimetal remains almost flat between 300 K and 100 K. This striking feature can be understood by considering the ratio…
The advancement of fabrication and lithography techniques of semiconductors have made it possible to study bi-layer systems made of two electronic layers separated by distances of several hundred Angstroms. In this situation the electrons…
The discovery of topological materials has provided new opportunities to exploit advanced materials for heat-to-electricity energy conversion as they share many common characteristics with thermoelectric materials. In this work, we report…
Motivated by recent proposal by Potter et al. [Phys. Rev. X 6, 031026 (2016)] concerning possible thermoelectric signatures of Dirac composite fermions, we perform a systematic experimental study of thermoelectric transport of an…
