While thermoelectric transport theory is well established and widely applied, there remains some degree of confusion on the proper thermodynamic definition of the Seebeck coefficient (or thermoelectric power) which is a measure of the…

Thermoelectrics are important in physics, engineering, and material science due to their useful applications and inherent theoretical difficulty, especially in strongly correlated materials. Here we reexamine the framework for calculating…

Thermoelectric effects, measured by the Seebeck coefficients, refer to the phenomena in which a temperature difference or gradient imposed across a thermoelectric material induces an electrical potential difference or gradient, and vice…

We have developed a method to probe the temperature of surface state electrons (SSE) above a superfluid Helium-4 surface using the Seebeck effect. In contrast to previously used SSE thermometry, this technique does not require detailed…

The atomic variations of electronic wavefunctions at the surface and electron scattering near a defect have been detected unprecedentedly by tracing thermoelectric voltages given a temperature bias [Cho et al., Nature Mater. 12, 913…

The thermoemf in bipolar semiconductors is calculated. It is shown that it is necessary to take into account the nonequilibrium distribution of electron and hole concentrations (Fermi quasilevels of the electrons and holes). We find that…

We describe a theory on photo-thermoelectric properties of a semiconductor, which include photo-conductivity, photo-Seebeck coefficient, and photo-Hall effect. We demonstrate that these properties provide a powerful tool for the study of…

Thermoelectric phenomena in photoexcited graphene have been the topic of several theoretical and experimental studies because of their potential usefulness in optoelectronic applications. However, available theoretical descriptions of the…

The thermopower $\alpha$ (also known as the Seebeck coefficient) is one of the most fundamental material characteristics for understanding charge carrier transport in thermoelectric materials. Here, we revisit the Pisarenko formula for the…

We propose a simple model to study resonant tunneling through an organic molecule between to conducting leads, taking into account the vibrational modes of the molecule. We solve the model approximately analytically in the weak coupling…

Thermopower and the Lorentz number for an edge-free (Corbino) graphene disk in the quantum Hall regime is calculated within the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism. We find, by varying the electrochemical potential, that amplitude of the…

The potential of bulk black-phosphorus for thermoelectric applications has been experimentally studied. The Seebeck Coefficient (S) has been measured in the temperature range from 300 K to 385 K, finding a value of S = +335 +- 10 uV/K at…

We report a method using scanning tunnelling microscope single molecular break junction to simultaneously measure and correlate the single-molecule thermopower and electrical conductance. In contrast to previously reported approaches, it…

We explore the possibility to perform an in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) thermoelectric characterization of materials. A differential heating element on a custom in-situ TEM microchip allows to generate a temperature gradient…

Certain classes of strongly correlated systems promise high thermopower efficiency, but a full understanding of correlation effects on the Seebeck coefficient is lacking. This is partly due to limitations of Boltzmann-type approaches. One…

An in-house Seebeck coefficient measurement system has been developed which can measure the thermoemf (Seebeck coefficient) of the sample, under large temperature difference, in the temperature range 300-600 K. Unlike majority of reported…

Heavily doped semiconductors are by far the most studied class of materials for thermoelectric applications in the past several decades. They have Seebeck coefficient values which are 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than metals, making them…

Thermoelectric materials can convert thermal energy into electricity, making them promising candidates for harvesting waste heat, an increasingly important challenge in the energy-intensive modern world. The search for improved…

The usually negligibly small thermoelectric effects in superconducting heterostructures can be boosted dramatically due to the simultaneous effect of spin splitting and spin filtering. Building on an idea of our earlier work [Phys. Rev.…

The principles of the thermoelectric phenomenon, including Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and Thomson effect are discussed. The dependence of the thermoelectric devices on the figure of merit, Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity,…
