The forms of the tensors describing thermoelectric transport properties in magnetically ordered crystals are given for frequently used orientations of the 122 space‐time point groups up to second order in an applied magnetic field. It is shown which forms are interchanged for the point groups of the hexagonal crystal family by two different conventions for the connection between the Hermann–Mauguin symbol and the orientation of the Cartesian coordinate system. The forms are given in Nye notation, which conspicuously shows how the forms for different point groups are related. It is shown that the measurable effects in magnetically ordered crystals can be decomposed into an effect occurring in all crystals and one coming from the magnetic ordering. Errors in the literature are pointed out.
