Presented work concerns thermally activated 2D materials inducing an electric field in the presence of a magnetic field. The thermomagnetic Nernst effect combines these quantities, and several works reveal results that could be used for validation of the experimental setup before investigations of other structures with potential thermomagnetic effects. The paper shows experimental studies on the thermomagnetic Nernst effect observed in pure nickel samples. The scope of experimental studies covers relationships of the sensitivity of the Nernst coefficient to magnetic field ranging to 1 T and temperature gradient above room temperature. The obtained results were discussed in relation to the referenced works.
