Magnetothermopower in high-mobility 2D electron gas: effect of microwave irradiation Oleg Raichev Department of Theoretical Physics Institute of Semiconductor Physics, Kiev, Ukraine [email protected] MIRO in high-mobility 2D electron gas in magnetic field. Photonassisted electron scattering in the regime of Landau quantization. displacement inelastic MIRO in high-mobility 2D electron gas in magnetic field. Photonassisted electron scattering in the regime of Landau quantization. displacement inelastic What about transport coefficients other than resistance? The same mechanisms are involved. Motivation: 1. Search for new effects 2. Verification of theoretical concepts Let us study the magnetothermoelectric phenomena! Outline Brief review of thermoelectric physics and experimental studies of thermopower in 2D systems. What is expected under microwave irradiation? Theoretical approach to the problem of thermoelectric current and thermopower in the presence of microwaves. Presentation of results, discussion, conclusions.

Microwave irradiation adds quantum corrections to TP tensor. Relative changes are small for longitudinal TP and large for transverse TP. MIRO can be observed in the transverse TP. Transverse TP, unlike the resistance, is strongly sensitive to linear polarization of microwaves.
