What is measured when measuring a thermoelectric coefficient?
A thermal gradient generates an electric field in any solid hosting mobile electrons. In presence of a finite magnetic field (or Berry curvature) this electric field has a transverse component. These are known as Seebeck and Nernst coefficients. As Callen argued, back in 1948, the Seebeck effect qua...
