A large, strongly temperature-dependent Nernst coefficient, $\nu$, is observed between $T$ = 2 K and 300 K for CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ and Ce$_{0.8}$La$_{0.2}$Cu$_2$Si$_2$. The enhanced $\nu(T)$ is determined by the asymmetry of the on-site Kondo…

We study the thermopower and some related transport quantities due to the orbital Kondo effect in a single quantum dot system with a finite value of Coulomb repulsion by means of the noncrossing approximation applied to the multiorbital…

The band structure of the novel low-temperature thermoelectric material, \CBT, is calculated and analyzed using the semi-classic transport equations. It is shown that to obtain a quantitative agreement with measured transport properties a…

Here, we investigate the thermoelectric properties of the marcasite-type compounds MSb$_2$ (M = Ta, Nb) in the temperature range of 310-730 K. These compounds were synthesized by a solid-state reaction followed by the spark plasma sintering…

In recent experiments, high Curie temperatures Tc above room temperature were reported in ferromagnetic semiconductors Fe-doped GaSb and InSb, while low Tc between 20 K to 90 K were observed in some other semiconductors with the same…

Transport properties in the presence of magnetic fields are numerically studied for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain. The breakdown of the spin-reversal symmetry due to the magnetic field induces the magnetothermal effect. In analogy with…

In this work we present a detailed study and derivation of the thermopower and thermoelectric coefficient of nano-granular metals at large tunneling conductance between the grains, g_T>> 1. An important criterion for the performance of a…

SmB$_6$ has been predicted to be a Kondo Topological Insulator with topologically protected conducting surface states. We have studied quantitatively the electrical transport through surface states in high quality single crystals of…

The thermoelectric properties of conductors with low electron density can be altered significantly by an applied magnetic field. For example, recent work has shown that Dirac/Weyl semimetals with a single pocket of carriers can exhibit a…

The heat transport in heavy-doped n-GaAs has been investigated at temperatures T=300 K and 77 K using the irradiation of the metal-semiconductor contact by modulated CO_{2}-laser radiation. It is shown this approach giving an opportunity to…

Here we investigate the thermodynamic and electronic properties of Eu$_{11}$InSb$_9$ single crystals. Electrical transport data show that Eu$_{11}$InSb$_9$ has a semiconducting ground state with a relatively narrow band gap of $320$~meV.…

Potential applications of quantum dots in the nanotechnology industry make these systems an important field of study in various areas of physics. In particular, thermodynamics has a significant role in technological innovations. With this…

We present the thermopower S(T) and the resistivity rho(T) of Lu(1-x)Yb(x)Rh2Si2 in the temperature range 3 K < T < 300 K. S(T) is found to change from two minima for dilute systems (x < 0.5) to a single large minimum in pure YbRh2Si2. A…

Temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth, $\lambda$(T), was measured in the Meissner state in single crystals B$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$BiO$_{3}$ (x=0.37) using tunnel diode resonator technique. At low temperatures, $0.013 \le T/T_c…

The thermoelectric properties of PbSe have significantly improved in recent years reaching figures of merit ZT 1.6. The transport properties of the hole doped high temperature thermoelectric material PbSe are particularly interesting and…

Temperature dependence of thermopower in the multiorbital Hubbard model is studied by using the dynamical mean-field theory with the non-crossing approximation impurity solver. It is found that the Coulomb interaction, the Hund coupling,…

In Kondo insulators the many-body Kondo lattice effect drives the formation of bands containing heavy charge carriers with a hybridization gap, leading to insulating properties. These renormalized bands can host non-trivial topologies…

The intermetallic compound ZnSb is an interesting thermoelectric material, largely due to its low lattice thermal conductivity. The origin of the low thermal conductivity has so far been speculative. Using multi-temperature single crystal…

We report a systematic study of Sm valence in the prototypical intermediate valence compound SmB$_6$. Sm mean valence, $v_{\rm Sm}$, was measured by X-ray absorption spectroscopy as functions of pressure ($1<P<13$ GPa) and temperature…

We report the coexistence of the Kondo effect and spin glass behavior in Fe-doped NbS$_2$ single crystals. The Fe$_x$NbS$_2$ shows the resistance minimum and negative magnetoresistance due to the Kondo effect, and exhibits no…
