Oscillations of the Nernst coefficient in bismuth

Abstract

We calculate the magnetic-field dependence (oscillations) of the Nernst coefficient in bismuth at low temperatures for the case when the magnetic field is directed along the trigonal axis of the crystal. In the calculations we take into account the scattering of the electrons and holes in bismuth on impurities and the dependence of this scattering on the magnetic field. The results of these calculations are compared with the experimental data recently published.
