31. If the Zeeman effect is included, the Nernst peaks in Fig. 2 are split and the spin Nernst effect is induced. Then two kinds of oscillatory structures, respectively, from the Zeeman effect and Rashba SOI appear in the spin Nernst coefficient Ns. This behavior is similar as in the spin Hall effect in which two kinds of peaks also appear.
