On the Theory of Anisotropic Thermoelectric power in Semiconductros

Abstract: Possible mechanisms for the appearance of an anisotropic thermoelectric power in semiconductors are examined using simple models. It is shown that an anisotropic thermoelectric power may arise both as a result of combined phonon and impurity scattering, and in the presence of two types of carriers if at least one type of carrier has an anisotropic effective mass. The effect of different parameters on the magnitude of the anisotropy in the thermoelectric power is examined and it is shown that for reasonable val… Show more

“…In general, all non‐cubic crystals are characterized by the anisotropy of the majority kinetic phenomena, whereas the anisotropy of thermo‐emf is a rare phenomenon and requires specific conditions for its occurrence , namely: the presence of several mechanisms of anisotropic scattering at one group of charge carriers with anisotropic effective mass; the presence of several types of charge carriers, at least one of which has anisotropy of the effective masses; phonon drag of carriers with anisotropic effective mass. …”
