Abstract: | The thermopower α in electron systems with a quasi-two-dimensional energy spectrum is investigated in the relaxation-time tensor approximation.
The longitudinal and transverse components of the thermopower are calculated for scattering of the current carriers by different
types of phonons. It is shown that the anisotropy of the thermopower in such systems is substantial. The dependence of a on
the ratio of the Fermi level ɛ
F to the half-width ɛ
0 of the one-dimensional conduction band is considered. For scattering by acoustical and nonpolar optical phonons, the thermopower
changes sign: α becomes positive for ɛ
F<ɛ
0. Comparison of the theory with published experimental data demonstrates good qualitative agreement.
