The sample design allowed the determination of the field dependence of the thermopower both parallel and perpendicular to the temperature gradient, denoted respectively by Sxx (longitudinal thermopower) and Syx (the Nernst-Ettinghausen coefficient). The experimental data show clear oscillations in Sxx and Syx due to the formation of Landau levels and reveal that Syx≈120Sxx at a magnetic field of 1T, which agrees well with the theoretical prediction that the ratio of these tensor components is dependent on the carrier mobility: Syx/Sxx=2ωcτ.
