The Ettingshausen effect is a phenomenon observed in certain materials, particularly in semiconductors and metals, where a temperature gradient induces a transverse electric field. This effect is essentially a thermoelectric effect related to the Seebeck effect, but it is specifically associated with the generation of transverse potential differences in response to a temperature difference across a conductor.
