Abstract
Thermoelectric and thermomagnetic coefficients were calculated for n-type undoped InSb single crystals through a temperature range from 10°C up to 80°C and magnetic fields from -0.6T to 0.6T. The thermoelectric Seebeck coefficient varied only with the temperature gradient, while the thermomagnetic Nernst coefficient varied with both the temperature gradient and the magnetic field. This paper also investigated the effects of the incident angle of magnetic field on the InSb sample surface with regard to the values of thermoelectric and thermomagnetic coefficients; the results showed that thermoelectric and thermomagnetic coefficients were independent of magnetic field direction.
