The thermoelectric response of HgTe quantum wells in the state of two-dimensional topological insulator (2D TI) has been studied experimentally. Ambipolar thermopower, typical for an electron-hole system, has been observed across the charge…
The thermoelectric response of 80-nm-thick strained HgTe films of a three-dimensional topological insulator (3D TI) has been studied experimentally. An ambipolar thermopower is observed where the Fermi energy moves from conducting to the…
The longitudinal thermopower of ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electrons has been measured at both zero magnetic field and at high fields in the compressible metallic state at filling factor $\nu = 3/2$ and the incompressible…
Quantum wells (QWs) based on mercury telluride (HgTe) thin films provide a large scale of unusual physical properties starting from an insulator via a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal to a three-dimensional topological insulator. These…
We present thermopower measurements on a high electron mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a thin suspended membrane.We show that the small dimension of the membrane substantially reduces the thermal conductivity compared to…
The semimetal quantum well (QW) based on HgTe structures exhibiting unusual transport properties at low temperature is examined experimentally. It demonstrates either a linear or quadratic growth of resistance with temperature at different…
The thermoelectric power of nondegenerate Kane semiconductors with due regard for the electron and phonon heating, and their thermal and mutual drags is investigated. The electron spectrum is taken in the Kane two-band form. It is shown…
We calculate the diffusion thermopower of the degenerate two-dimensional hole gas in a $p-$type Si/Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$ lattice mismatched heterostructure at low temperatures and zero magnetic field. The effects of possible scatterings, e.g.…
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…
A simple hot electron thermocouple is realized in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) and used to measure the diffusion thermopower of the 2DES at zero magnetic field. This hot electron technique, which requires no micron-scale…
The diffusion of energy that is locally deposited into two-dimensional electron gases by Joule heating generates transverse voltages across devices with broken symmetry. For mesoscopic structures characterized by device dimensions…
A theoretical model using electron-phonon scattering rate equations is developed for assessing carrier thermalization under steady-state conditions in two-dimensional systems. The model is applied to investigate the hot carrier effect in…
Polarons - electrons coupled with lattice vibrations - play a key role in the transport and optical properties of many systems of reduced dimension and dimensionality. Their confinement affects drastically the phonon, polaron, bipolaron and…
We found that a high mobility semimetal 1T'-MoTe2 shows a significant pressure-dependent change in the cryogenic thermopower in the vicinity of the critical pressure, where the polar structural transition disappears. With the application of…
Previous experimental work on a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas in a Si-on-sapphire device led to the conclusion that both conductivity and phonon drag thermopower $S^g$ are affected to the same relative extent by weak localization. The…
In an unconventional superconductor, the interplay of scattering off impurities and Andreev processes may lead to different scattering times for electronlike and holelike quasiparticles. Such electron-hole asymmetry appears when the…
The influence of e-h scattering on the conductivity and magnetotransport of 2D semimetallic HgTe is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The presence of e-h scattering leads to the friction between electron and holes resulting in…
We have measured diffusion thermopower in a two-dimensional electron gas at low temperature ($T$=40 mK) in the field range 0 $<B<$ 3.4 T, by employing the current heating technique. A Hall bar device is designed for this purpose, which…
We report results of systematic measurements of charge transport properties of the 20.5nm wide HgTe-based quantum well in perpendicular magnetic field, performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 15.1 kbar. At ambient pressure transport is…
The thermopower and conductance of atomic-size metallic contacts have been simultaneously measured using a mechanically controllable break junction. For contacts approaching atomic dimensions, abrupt steps in the thermopower are observed…
