Abstract: A new physical mechanism responsible for the appearance of anomalous thermo-emf in $n$-Ge, the sign of which is opposite to that of the Seebeck thermo-emf, is considered. It is shown that the anomalous thermoelectric effect is related to the redistribution of charge carriers in the energy extrema of bands during thermoelastic deformation of the crystal.
