Transverse and Longitudinal Nernst‐Ettingshausen Effect in p‐Te

Abstract
Using a variational method, general formulae for the kinetic tensor components describing the galvanomagnetic phenomena in anisotropic semiconductors of the p‐Te type are obtained in terms of matrix elements of different scattering mechanisms for the case of arbitrary magnitude and direction of the non‐quantizing magnetic field. Theoretical and experimental results of the temperature and field dependences of the transverse and longitudinal Nernst‐Ettingshausen effect in p‐Te are compared and discussed.
