Abstract
Various galvano- and thermomagnetic transport properties of zinc have been measured in the Corbino geometry for magnetic fields parallel to the c axis in the range 0-2.5 T. The effects of magnetic breakdown of the basal-plane orbits have been observed in all transport coefficients with oscillations in the thermoelectric coefficient G=- epsilon "xx/ lambda "xx being particularly pronounced. Calculations of all the transport coefficients have been performed using the breakdown network model of Falicov et al. (1966). In general reasonably good agreement with experiment is obtained, demonstrating that the model can account successfully for all the low-field magnetotransport properties of zinc.
