Abstract
The thermoelectric power of high-mobility GaAs-As heterojunctions has been investigated in the temperature range from 0.1 to 10 K in order to study the phonon-drag effect. The phonon-drag contribution to the Seebeck coefficient can be well described by the classical dependence below 2.5 K. At very low temperatures (T<0.6 K), the phonon drag becomes vanishingly small and a linear temperature dependence of the diffusion thermoelectric power was resolved. In addition, the thermoelectric power was measured in magnetic fields up to 7 T and different temperature dependences were found for the maxima of the thermoelectric power oscillations at different Landau levels.
