Zusammenfassung
The enhanced thermopower of the correlated semiconductor FeSi is found to be robust against the sign of the relevant charge carriers. At T approximate to 70 K, the position of both the high-temperature shoulder of the thermopower peak and the nonmagnetic-enhanced paramagnetic crossover, the Nernst coefficient. assumes a large maximum and the Hall mobility mu(H) diminishes to below 1 cm(2)/V s. These cause the dimensionless ratio nu/mu(H) -a measure of the energy dispersion of the charge scattering time tau (epsilon)-to exceed that of classical metals and semiconductors by two orders of magnitude. Concomitantly, the resistivity exhibits a hump and the magnetoresistance changes its sign. Our observations hint at a resonant scattering of the charge carriers at the magnetic crossover, imposing strong constraints on the microscopic interpretation of the robust thermopower enhancement in FeSi.
