A near-field thermal Hall effect (i.e.Righi-Leduc effect) in networks of magneto-optical particles placed in a constant magnetic field is predicted. This many-body effect is related to a symmetry breaking in the system induced by the magnetic field which gives rise to preferential channels for the heat-transport by near-field interaction thanks to the particles anisotropy tuning.
