Development of a low-cost system for energy conversion coefficient measurements based on thermomagnetic phenomena

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents the experimental development of a simple and low-cost system for measuring the thermomagnetic energy conversion based on the Anomalous Nernst Effect. The approach aims to provide an easy-to-implement alternative for teaching modern physics phenomena, such as the Anomalous Nernst Effect (ANE) and Longitudinal Spin-Seebeck Effect (LSSE), highlighting its educational potential and applicability in high school and higher education settings. The proposed system is validated through experimental measurements performed on specific samples, using advanced characterization techniques. The results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness, making experimentation accessible and relevant for students’ formation in physics, nanotechnology, and sustainable energy fields.
