Nernst effect
In physics and chemistry, the Nernst Effect (also termed first Nernst-Ettingshausen effect, which is again frequently misspelled Nernst-Ettinghausen effect) is a thermoelectric (or thermomagnetic) phenomenon observed when a sample allowing electrical conduction is subjected to a magnetic field and a temperature gradient normal to each other. An electric field will be induced normal to both.
