Peltier's cross is an experimental apparatus used for studying anisotropic electrical conductivity.
The cross consists of a square of conducting material with four equally spaced electrodes attached to the edges.
When a current is passed through the cross, a series of temperature gradients are established.
These gradients create a thermal gradient that can be used to study the electrical properties of the material.
