Thermo-emf and the critical temperature of the superconducting transition of thallium and rhenium accompanying a topological transition
Zavaritskii N. V., Makarov V. I., Yurgens A. A.
Thermo-emf in rhenium and thallium produced as a result of a pressure-induced topological transition exhibits large anomalies (on the order of a measurable quantity) which uniquely correspond to a nonlinear variation of the critical superconducting transition temperature Tc. The intrinsic lifetime of quasiparticles (charge carriers) has a considerable effect on the magnitude of the thermo-emf anomaly.
