Thermopower in an anisotropic two-dimensional Weyl semimetal

We investigate the generation of an electric current from a temperature gradient in a two-dimensional Weyl semimetal with anisotropy, in both the presence and absence of a quantizing magnetic field. We show that the anisotropy leads to doping dependences of thermopower and thermal conductivities which are different from those in isotropic Dirac materials. Additionally, we find that a quantizing magnetic field in such systems leads to an interesting magnetic field dependence of the longitudinal thermopower, resulting in unsaturated thermoelectric coefficients. Thus the results presented here will serve as a guide to achieving high thermopower and a thermoelectric figure-of-merit in graphene-based materials, as well as organic conductors such as $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)${}_2$I${}_3$.
