Abstract The thermoelectric power of nearly ferromagnetic iron monosilicide, which passes through an electronic semiconductor-metal transition with increasing temperature, is investigated theoretically. The results of this investigation indicate that a sizable paramagnon-related increase in charge carriers can occur in nearly ferromagnetic semiconductors, and that spin fluctuations can modify the electronic spectrum and thereby renormalize the diffusion component of the thermoelectric power. The transition from semiconductor to metal decreases the paramagnon component sharply and the thermoelectric power changes sign, which agrees with experimental data for iron monosilicide.
