Abstract:
Phenomenological equations describing the Seebeck, Hall, Nernst, Peltier, Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects are numerically solved for the temperature, electric current, and electrochemical potential distributions of semiconductors under magnetic field. The results are compared to experiments. Our research is motivated by the desire to design optimal semiconductor generators (especially thermomagnetic ones) and specifically to investigate a thermomagnetic analog of the well kown effect of sample (e.g. aspect ratio)on the magnetoresistance
