thermodiffusion

He is universally known for his work on thermodiffusion (the so-called Soret effect).

Diffusion in a temperature gradient (thermophoresis, also called thermodiffusion).

The industrial boom inexorably went ahead in 1955 with the launch of the first thermodiffusion base: Thermoplan, which provides excellent heat conductivity across the bottom of the product.

At the KWIP, he was a colleague of Karl Wirtz, and his research was on determination of the nuclear moment and thermodiffusion.

In 1879, he published his first discussion on thermodiffusion on the basis of experiments with solutions of NaCl and KNO in pipes with heated or cooled ends.

Thermophoresis, or thermodiffusion, or thermomigration, or the Soret effect, or the Ludwig-Soret effect is a phenomenon observed in mixtures of mobile particles where the different particle types exhibit different responses to the force of a temperature gradient.
