Temperature dependences of thermoelectric power S(T) at $T>T_c$ of the Hg-based high temperature superconductors Hg$_{1-x}$R$_x$Ba$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{8+\delta}$ (R=Re, Pb) have been analyzed with accounting for strong scattering of charge…
A modified model of metal-semiconductor contacts is applied to analyze the capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics of metal-ferroelectric-metal structures. The ferroelectric polarization is considered as a sheet of surface…
Plants are sensitive to thermal and electrical effects; yet the coupling of both, known as thermoelectricity, and its quantitative measurement in vegetal systems never were reported. We recorded the thermoelectric response of bean sprouts…
We investigate the low-temperature thermoelectric properties of three-dimensional nodal-line semimetals within the semiclassical Boltzmann formalism. Considering short-range interaction between electrons and scattering agents, we calculate…
The electronic functionality of thin films is governed by their interfaces. This is very important for the ferroelectric (FE) state which depends on thin-film clamping and interfacial charge transfer. Here we show that in a heterostructure…
Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a deeper understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of energy at the microscopic level. In this Colloquium we survey…
Temperature-dependent thermoelectric power (TEP) in semiconductor crystals and crystal structures containing an electron-vibrational centers (EVC) was investigated in this article. The TEP contain narrow pius at Debye temperatures for…
We describe measurements of 100 nK temperature oscillations at room temperature, driven at the complex interface between p-doped Germanium, a nm size metal layer, and an electrolyte. We show that heat is deposited at this interface by…

We investigate electronic structures and thermoelectric properties of recent synthetic half-Heusler $\mathrm{ZrNiPb}$ by using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA plus spin-orbit coupling (GGA+SOC). Calculated results show that…
We explore the thermoelectric properties of gold atomic chains bridging gold electrodes by means of \textit{ab initio} and semi-empirical calculations, and heuristic reasoning. We predict the thermoelectric voltage induced by a temperature…
The behavior of various thermodynamic functions in the dependence of degree of energy band occupation and temperature in the one-band tight binding approximation for the crystal was studied. The Fermi energy, density of states, degeneracy…
Resistivity, dc magnetization, and heat capacity measurements are reported for superconducting NaBi. Tc, the electronic contribution to the specific heat {\gamma}, the {\Delta}Cp/{\gamma}Tc ratio, and the Debye temperature are found to be…
We report on the measurement of the heat capacity for an optically-trapped, strongly-interacting Fermi gas of atoms. In the experiments, a precise input of energy to the gas is followed by single-parameter thermometry. The thermometry…
The effect of the electron temperature on both the light absorption and the scattering by metal nanoparticles (MNs) with excitation of the surface plasmon electron vibrations is studied in the framework of the kinetic theory. The formulae…
The thermoelectric power S is studied within the one-dimensional Hubbard model using the linear response theory and the numerical exact-diagonalization method for small systems. While both the diagonal and off-diagonal dynamical correlation…
The effects of low dimensionality on the thermodynamics of a Fermi gas trapped by isotropic power law potentials are analyzed. Particular attention is given to different characteristic temperatures that emerge, at low dimensionality, in the…
We study thermoelectric properties of granular semiconductors with weak tunneling conductance between the grains, g_t < 1. We calculate the thermopower and figure of merit taking into account the shift of the chemical potential and the…
We study the thermopower of a junction between a metal and a strongly correlated semiconductor. Both in the electronic ferroelectric regime and in the Kondo insulator regime the thermoelectric figures of merit, ZT, of these junctions are…
We study the electrical conductance $G$ and the thermopower $S$ of single-molecule junctions, and reveal signatures of different transport mechanisms: off-resonant tunneling, on-resonant coherent (ballistic) motion, and multi-step hopping.…
