The thermoelectric response of 80 nm-thick strained HgTe films of a three-dimensional topological insulator (3D TI) has been studied experimentally. An ambipolar thermopower is observed where the Fermi energy moves from conducting to the valence bulk band. The comparison between theory and experiment shows that the thermopower is mostly due to the phonon drag contribution. In the region where the 2D Dirac electrons coexist with bulk hole states, the Seebeck coefficient is modified due to 2D electron–3D hole scattering.

Abstract The system of coupled Boltzmann transport equations for electrons and phonons in a metal is considered in the absence of a magnetic field. Usually these equations are decoupled by “Bloch′s assumption”, that is the phonon gas is considered to stay in equilibrium with respect to the trans­ port equation for the electrons. It is shown that the coupled system of equations has finite solutions only if some other relaxation process than the electron-phonon interaction is present, for instance the phonon-phonon-interaction. With some simplifying assumptions the full system of equations is solved for high temperatures. The contributions of the phonon-drag to the thermoelectric transport coefficients are derived and discussed.
