Thermoelectric Power in Quantum Dots Under Large Magnetic Field

Abstract

In recent years, with the advent of Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) [1,2], there has been considerable interest in studying the thermoelectric power under strong magnetic field (TPSM) in various types of nanostructured materials having quantum confinement of their charge carriers in one, two, and three dimensions of the respective wave-vector space leading to different carrier energy spectra [3–38]. The classical TPSM equation as mentioned in the preface is valid only under the condition of carrier nondegeneracy, is being independent of carrier concentration, and reflects the fact that the signature of the band structure of any material is totally absent in the same.
