Abstract
The relation S(B,T)dT≊Bħ/(2mc) presented recently for the thermoelectric power S of a dirty high- superconductor [V. V. Gridin et al., Phys. Rev. B 40, 8814 (1989)] is considered. It is shown that measurements which have been reported for the thermomagnetic coefficients of nearly reversible conventional type-II superconductors provide additional support for this relation. The result obtained from time-dependent microscopic theory for vortex motion (time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory and linear-response theory) is also discussed.
