Abstract
In this chapter, we shall study the thermoelectric power under magnetic quantization in III–V, II–VI, IV–VI, and HgTe/CdTe superlattices with graded interfaces in Sects. 6.2.1–6.2.4 of the theoretical background. In Sects. 6.2.5–6.2.8, we have investigated the same for III–V, II–VI, IV–VI, and HgTe/CdTe effective mass superlattices, respectively. In Sects. 6.2.9–6.2.16, we have studied the thermoelectric power in the presence of a quantizing magnetic field for quantum wells of the aforementioned superlattices. Sections 6.3 and 6.4 contain results and discussion and open research problems, respectively.
