Abstract: Reports studies of the thermoelectric properties of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall regime. The data are compared to theoretical predictions for the thermopower when the chemical potential lies either in the middle of a Landau level or midway between two levels. For the comparison a Gaussian broadening is assumed, and a good fit to the data can be obtained with the width of the levels as the adjustable parameter. (18 References).
