Measurement of Electron-Phonon Mass Enhancement in Thermoelectricity

Abstract

Measurements of the high magnetic field limit of the Nernst-Ettingshausen coefficient of both compensated and uncompensated metals can be used to isolate the effect of electron-phonon mass enhancement on thermoelectricity. We describe what is measured in each case and why, and review the experimental results which have been obtained.

Supported in part by the NSF under grants DMR-75-14138, DMR-77-04680 and DMR-75-01584.
