Definition
  1. Proper noun:
    • A German scientist: Walther Hermann Nernst was a German physicist and chemist. He is most famous for formulating the third law of thermodynamics, a fundamental principle in physical chemistry. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920 for this work.
Usage Examples
  • Proper noun:
    • The Nernst equation, developed by Walther Hermann Nernst, is crucial in electrochemistry.
    • Walther Hermann Nernst received the Nobel Prize for his heat theorem, which became the third law of thermodynamics.
Advanced Usage

  • "Nernst effect" (n): A thermomagnetic phenomenon discovered by Walther Hermann Nernst.
    • The experiment was designed to measure the Nernst effect in the new material.
Variants and Related Words
  • Nernst equation (n): A mathematical formula in electrochemistry that relates the reduction potential of an electrochemical reaction to the standard electrode potential and the activities of the chemical species involved.

Synonyms
  • Nernst (n): Often used alone to refer to the scientist, especially in academic contexts.
    • The principle was first proposed by Nernst in 1906.
