Relation between thermoelectric power and Hall coefficient with application to the normal state of high Tc superconductors

Arguments going back to Bridgman relate longitudinal and transverse transport coefficients. In particular, Ettingshausen, Thomson and Hall coefficients are thereby interconnected. By exploiting both one- and two-band models, the Ettingshausen coefficient is microscopically connected to the Hall coef...

Description
Summary:Arguments going back to Bridgman relate longitudinal and transverse transport coefficients. In particular, Ettingshausen, Thomson and Hall coefficients are thereby interconnected. By exploiting both one- and two-band models, the Ettingshausen coefficient is microscopically connected to the Hall coefficient. This leads to a formula which relates thermoelectric power linearly to the Hall coefficient. Data for high T c superconductors in the normal state supports such a direct correlation between these properties.
