We have theoretically studied the thermoelectric effect in layered conductors with a quasi-two-dimensional electron energy spectrum of an arbitrary form in a quantizing magnetic field at low temperatures. Giant quantum oscillations of thermoelectric field versus the inverse magnetic field have been predicted, which will facilitate the experimental study of quantum oscillatory effects. Thermoelectric force in a layered conductor is shown to depend periodically upon the angle between the magnetic field direction and the normal to the layers. This orientation effect arises from the quasi-two-dimensional character of the charge carriers energy spectrum and is representative of layered conductors.

Key words: thermoelectric field, layered conductor, quantum oscillations
