Oscillating Nernst-Ettingshausen effect in Bismuth across the quantum limit
Kamran Behnia, Marie-Aude Measson, Yakov Kopelevich
Abstract
In elemental Bismuth, 105 atoms share a single itinerant electron. Therefore, a moderate magnetic field can confine electrons to the lowest Landau level. We report on the first study of metallic thermoelectricity in this regime. The main thermoelectric response is off-diagonal with an oscillating component several times larger than the non-oscillating background. When the first Landau level attains the Fermi Energy, both the Nernst and the Ettingshausen coefficients sharply peak, and the latter attains a temperature-independent maximum. A qualitative agreement with a theory invoking current-carrying edge excitations is observed.
