Abstract

In Chap. 3, the TPSM has been investigated under large magnetic field in quantum dot superlattices having various band structures. In this chapter, the TPSM has been studied in III–V, II–VI, IV–VI, and HgTe/CdTe quantum wire superlattices (QWSL) with graded interfaces from Sects. 4.2.1 to 4.2.4. Sections 4.2.5–4.2.8 contain the investigation of the magnetothermopower in III–V, II–VI, IV–VI, and HgTe/CdTe quantum wire effective mass superlattices. The results and discussion is present in Sect. 4.3 and Sect. 4.4 includes open research problems.
