Abstract

An attempt is made to study the thermoelectric power in ultrathin films of semiconductors under magnetic quantization by including all types of aniso tropies in the energy spectrum within the domain of theory, and taking n-Cd3As2 as an example. It is found that, the magne to-thermopower decreases with increasing surface electron concentration and also changes in an oscillatory manner with film thickness respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.
