| Abstract Scope |
The physical origin of thermoelectric phenomena are well understood with quantum or semi-classic theories such as the Boltzmann transport theory. Carefully conducted experiments often reveal results as predicted by such theories. Nonetheless, carrier transport not only happens when system is near thermal equilibrium, but also happens in excited systems with electrons far from thermal equilibrium. And this draws our interest over the past a few years. In this talk we will discuss the characteristic, the physical origin, and measurement strategies of the thermoelectric effect under photon excitation. We will discuss a few case studies and what can these results tell us about the materials. There are still much to understand with this effect and we hope our study could stimulate more interest and applications as well. |
