This Communication reports studies of the thermoelectric properties of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall regime. The data are compared to theoretical predictions for the thermopower when the chemical potential lies either in the middle of a Landau level or midway between two levels. For the comparison a Gaussian broadening is assumed and a good fit to the data can be obtained with the width of the levels as the adjustable parameter.
