Laser-induced Nernst-Ettingshausen effect: Anomalous dependency on the magnetic field

Abstract
An experiment on the laser-induced Nernst-Ettingshausen (NE) effect was performed at room temperature with pure bismuth films having a thickness of 5.5 μm. The observed behavior of the NE coefficient with the magnetic field was anomalous. A theoretical discussion of the results is carried out thereafter.
