Nh. March et Bv. Paranjape, RELATION BETWEEN THERMOELECTRIC-POWER AND HALL-COEFFICIENT WITH APPLICATION TO THE NORMAL-STATE OF HIGH-T-C SUPERCONDUCTORS, Journal of physics and chemistry of solids, 56(1), 1995, pp. 65-68
Arguments going back to Bridgman relate longitudinal and transverse tr
ansport coefficients. In particular, Ettingshausen, Thomson and Hall c
oefficients are thereby interconnected. By exploiting both one- and tw
o-band models, the Ettingshausen coefficient is microscopically connec
ted to the Hall coefficient. This leads to a formula which relates the
rmoelectric power linearly to the Hall coefficient. Data for high T-c
superconductors in the normal state supports such a direct correlation
between these properties.
