Relaxation time approximation forelectron - phonon interaction insemiconductorsPeter
A Boltzmann equation for semiconductors is considered. Physical assumptions include the parabolic band approximation and a new relaxation time model for electron-phonon interaction. Thermal equilibrium distributions for this scattering mechanism are products of Maxwellian distributions with periodic functions of the energy, where the period is the energy of a phonon. The hydrodynamic limit is c...
متن کاملMagnetic Nernst effect
The thermodynamics of irreversible processes in continuous media predicts the existence of a magnetic Nernst effect that results from a magnetic analog to the Seebeck effect in a ferromagnet and magnetophoresis occurring in a paramagnetic electrode in contact with the ferromagnet. Thus, a voltage that has DC and AC components is expected across a Pt electrode as a response to the inhomogeneous ...
متن کاملQuantum Nernst Effect
It is theoretically predicted that the Nernst coefficient is strongly suppressed and the thermal conductance is quantized in the quantum Hall regime of the twodimensional electron gas. The Nernst effect is the induction of a thermomagnetic electromotive force in the y direction under a temperature bias in the x direction and a magnetic field in the z direction. The quantum nature of the Nernst ...
متن کاملThe spin Nernst effect in tungsten
The spin Hall effect allows the generation of spin current when charge current is passed along materials with large spin-orbit coupling. It has been recently predicted that heat current in a nonmagnetic metal can be converted into spin current via a process referred to as the spin Nernst effect. We report the observation of the spin Nernst effect in W. In W/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures, we find c...
متن کاملNernst effect in the electron-doped cuprates
We calculate the normal state Nernst signal in the cuprates resulting from a reconstruction of the Fermi surface due to spin density wave order. An order parameter consistent with the reconstruction of the Fermi surface detected in electron-doped materials is shown to sharply enhance the Nernst signal close to optimal doping. Within a semiclassical treatment, the obtained magnitude and position...
