  Edwin Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hall's experiments consisted of exposing thin gold leaf (and, later, using various other materials) on a glass plate and tapping off the gold leaf at points down its length.
The effect is a potential difference (Hall voltage) on opposite sides of a thin sheet of conducting or semiconducting material (the Hall element) through which an electric current is flowing.
Hall was appointed as Harvard's professor of physics in 1895.

 Hall effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hall effect refers to the potential difference (Hall voltage) on opposite sides of a thin sheet of conducting or semiconducting material in the form of a 'Hall bar' or a van der Pauw element through which an electric current is flowing, created by a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the Hall element.
Interestingly enough, the Hall effect also showed that in some substances (especially semiconductors), it is more appropriate to think of the current as positive "holes" moving rather than negative electrons.
So called Hall effect sensors are readily available from a number of different manufacturers, and may be used in various sensors such as fluid flow sensors, power sensors, and pressure sensors.

 Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As an extension of this, the front entranceway or entrance room of the house is also often called the hall because it serves as an access to the main part of the house (also called the entry hall).
It may be privately or government-owned, such as a function hall owned by one company used for weddings and cotillions (organized and run by the same company on a contractual basis) or a community hall available for rent to anyone.
The term hall can be used to refer to the houses of medieval kings and nobles, and to some kinds of building in their entirety, for example a Meeting hall, or a Church hall.

 CSISS Classics - Edward T. Hall: Proxemic Theory, 1966
Hall began to believe that basic differences in the the way that members of different cultures perceived reality were responsible for miscommunications of the most fundamental kind.
Hall is most associated with proxemics, the study of the human use of space within the context of culture.
Hall's ideas have also had a significant impact in communication theory, especially intercultural communication, where it inspired research on spatial perception that continues to this day (Niemeir, Campbell and Dirven 1998).

 Hall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
U.S.A. Edwin Herbert Hall was American physicist who discovered in 1879 the "Hall effect" - development of a transverse electric field in a solid material when it carries an electric current and is placed in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current.
Hall was pursuing the question first posed by Maxwell as to whether the resistance of a coil excited by a current was affected by the presence of a magnet.
In particular, the positive Hall coefficients exhibited by metals such as magnesium and aluminium are a clear indication that a naive picture of a sea of conduction electrons is inappropriate because the majority carriers are clearly positively charged (and are, in fact, holes).

In 1879 Edwin H. Hall discovered that when he placed a conducting strip carrying a current in a magnetic field, a potential difference was produced across the strip - transverse to the current and magnetic field directions.
At the time, Hall was a 24-year-old graduate student working under Henry A. Rowland at Johns Hopkins University.
Nonetheless, the effect that now bears Hall’s name was at a watershed in the history of physics.

 Bell Labs: The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The historical roots of the fractional quantum Hall effect go back to the previous century, before the laws of quantum mechanics -- the laws that govern the behavior of matter -- were known to physicists.
In 1879, Edwin Hall, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, discovered that, when a magnetic field was applied perpendicularly to a thin metal sheet that was conducting current, a small electrical voltage appeared that was perpendicular to both the sheet and the magnetic field.
The Hall voltage and Hall resistance (the ratio of the Hall voltage to the current) are now commonly used in physics laboratories to measure the strengths of magnetic fields, as well as charge densities in various metals.

 Hall effect
The Hall effect (discovered by Dr. Edwin Hall in 1879) is a potential difference (voltage) on opposite sides of a thin sheet of conducting or semiconducting material (the Hall element) through which an electric current is flowing, created by a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the Hall element.
The most common types are analog (or Linear) Hall effect sensors, which output a voltage that is proportional to the applied magnetic field, and digital Hall effect sensors, which are often used as magnetically controlled switches -- they turn on or off when the applied magnetic field reaches a certain level.
These Hall effect switches generally consist of a Hall effect sensor, one or more logic gates and a transistor used to switch the electric current on or off.

Edwin Hall's accessible studyfirmly grounded in Roman and canon law, theology, literature, and the social history of the periodoffers a compelling new interpretation of this wonderful painting.
Instead of depicting the sacrament of marriage, Hall argues, the painting commemorates the alliance between two wealthy and important Italian mercantile families, a ceremonious betrothal that reflects the social conventions of the time.
Hall not only unlocks the mystery that has surrounded this work of art, he also makes a unique contribution to the fascinating history of betrothal and marriage custom, ritual, and ceremony, tracing their evolution from the late Roman Empire through the fifteenth century and providing persuasive visual evidence for their development.
