Thermoelectric power of nondegenerate Kane semiconductors under the conditions of mutual electron-phonon drag in a high electric field (2001)

Abstract
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 that the nonparabolicity of electron spectrum significantly influences the magnitude of the thermoelectric power and leads to a change of its sign and dependence on the heating electric field. The field dependence of the thermoelectric power is determined analytically under various drag conditions.. Comment: 25 pages, RevTex formatted, 3 tables
