Abstract
A heat flow measuring apparatus is provided. This heat flow measuring apparatus comprises: a thermoelectric conversion unit that is configured to convert, on the basis of the anomalous Nernst effect, a heat gradient generated by heat exchange with an object to be measured into an electric signal; and a magnetic field application unit that is configured to apply a magnetic field in a given direction to the thermoelectric conversion unit.

A heat flow measuring apparatus comprising:
- a thermoelectric conversion unit configured to convert a heat gradient generated by heat exchange with an object to be measured into an electrical signal, on the basis of the anomalous Nernst effect;
- and
- a magnetic field application unit configured to apply a magnetic field in a given direction to the thermoelectric conversion unit.
A heat flow measuring method, comprising:
- a signal acquisition step of acquiring an electrical signal outputted from a thermoelectric conversion unit with a magnetic field in a given direction being applied to the thermoelectric conversion unit, the electrical signal being a signal obtained by converting, by the thermoelectric conversion unit, a heat gradient generated by heat exchange with an object to be measured, on the basis of the anomalous Nernst effect.
