Investigations were made to investigate the thermodiffusion process (Soret effect) of magnetic particles in a ferrofluid under the influence of a magnetic field. The so-called magnetic Soret effect was theoretically predicted to be two to three orders of magnitude smaller than the conventional Soret effect. In contrast, former experiments have qualitatively shown that the magnetic influence on the thermodiffusion process is much higher than the theoretical predictions for the magnetic Soret effect. However, in those experiments the influence of buoyancy and magnetic driven convection disturbed the measurement significantly. Thus it is still an open question how strong the influence of a magnetic field on thermodiffusion can be and how this influence can be explained theoretically. Therefore an experimental setup was developed which minimizes parasitic effects, simplifying the analysis of the experimental results. These results provide quantitative measures of the magnetic field dependence of the Soret eff...
