Charles Soret (born 23 September 1854, Geneva , Switzerland ; died 4 April 1904) was a Swiss physicist and chemist. He is known for his work on thermodiffusion (the so-called Soret effect ).

10-563: A degree in mathematics. In addition, he also attended lectures in physics and other sciences. He continued studies in mathematics at the Sorbonne , where he received his MA in 1876. He believed that a good physicist is first of all a good mathematician; therefore, only afterwards he focused on physics in which he obtained a master's degree two years later. Soon, he was offered a place in the Department of crystallography and mineralogy at

20-604: The University of Geneva. There, in 1879, he became a lecturer and a full professor in 1881. In 1879, he published his first discussion on thermodiffusion on the basis of experiments with solutions of NaCl and KNO 3 in pipes with heated or cooled ends. He noticed higher concentrations at the cooler end of the pipe. His experiments confirmed the results of C. Ludwig (published 20 years earlier) of which Soret probably did not know. In addition to thermal migration, he also conducted research on refractometry . In 1898, he became
