The thermopower in a two-dimensional semimetal existing in HgTe quantum wells 18-21 nm thick has been studied experimentally and theoretically for the first time. It has been found theoretically and experimentally that the thermopower has two components-diffusion and phonon-drag-and that the second component is several times larger than the first. It has been concluded that the electron-hole scattering plays an important role in both mechanisms of the thermopower.
