A Note on the Galvanomagnetic and Thermoelectric Coefficients of Tetragonal Crystalline Materials

Abstract

The independent Hall, magnetoresistive, and thermoelectric coefficients for a tetragonal crystal have been tabulated and geometric configurations for their experimental measurement have been determined. These coefficients have been calculated on assumptions of several simple ellipsoidal models, in the range of nondegenerate statistics. Implications of experimentally observed isotropy or anisotropy of transport properties on the structure of the energy surfaces are noted.
