Abstract
We report a thermoelectric study of graphene in both zero and applied magnetic fields. As a direct consequence of the linear dispersion of massless particles, we find that the Seebeck coefficient diverges with , where is the carrier density. We observe a very large Nernst signal ( at 8 T) at the Dirac point, and an oscillatory dependence of both and on at low temperatures. Our results underscore the anomalous thermoelectric transport in graphene, which may be used as a highly sensitive probe for impurity bands near the Dirac point.
