Query: Thermoelectric transport of mesoscopic conductors coupled to voltage and
  thermal probes   We investigate basic properties of the thermopower (Seebeck coefficient) of
phase-coherent conductors under the influence of dephasing and inelastic
processes. Transport across the system is caused by a voltage bias or a thermal
gradient applied between two terminals. Inelastic scattering is modeled with
the aid of an additional probe acting as an ideal potentiometer and
thermometer. We find that inelastic scattering reduces the conductor's
thermopower and, more unexpectedly, generates a magnetic-field asymmetry in the
Seebeck coefficient. The latter effect is shown to be a higher-order effect in
the Sommerfeld expansion. We discuss our result using two illustrative
examples. First, we consider a generic mesoscopic system described within
random matrix theory and demonstrate that thermopower fluctuations disappear
quickly as the number of probe modes increases. Second, the asymmetry is
explicitly calculated in the quantum limit of a ballistic microjunction. We
find that asymmetric scattering strongly enhances the effect and discuss its
dependence on temperature and Fermi energy.
