29. Indeed, in an ideal situation of completely compensated bands, S vanishes; when carriers of one type are doped into the system S increases as terms of opposite sign no longer cancel out in Eq.; eventually, at high doping levels, when one type of carriers dominates transport, S decreases with increasing doping as predicted by Eq. for a single band system.

35. The phonon-drag term is peaked at temperatures T ΘD /5, where ΘD is the Debye temperature of the compound; for these systems, ΘD has been estimated to be ΘD 175 K in Ref. and ΘD 200 K in Ref.
