Fig. 5: Transport coefficients.
Calculated Nernst coefficient and transport components as a function of the strength g of the nematic fluctuations for μ = 1 and kBT = 0.01. a Calculated Nernst coefficient ν. Starting from very small values ν increases dramatically already for relatively small values of g. b Electrical conductivity σxx (red line) and Hall conductivity σxy (blue line) as a function of g. The Hall coefficient grows more rapidly than σxx and eventually exceeds its absolute value at g/t1 ≈ 0.2. This causes for ν a change from a strong increase followed by a saturation. c Peltier coefficients αxx (red line) and αxy (blue line) as a function of g. Also here, the anisotropic component is dominant in the presence of nematic fluctuations.
