The anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) is a simple and powerful tool to detect the average magnetization in a single nanowire. Using this simple thermoelectrical measurement one can precisely track the position and motion of a single Domain Wall in a metallic nanowire with perpendicular magnetization anisotropy with a resolution below 20 nm [1]. This makes the ANE a candidate for detecting the magnetization in nanowires made of complex materials such as the ones that show a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI), even also single skyrmions in nanowires. We are going to show thermoelectric ANE measurements on a nanowire with DMI were we can identify the different components of the magnetization.
