Topic: Hall effect


  
  Hall Effect
The transverse voltage (Hall effect) measured in a Hall probe has its origin in the magnetic force on a moving charge carrier.
The Hall effect is a conduction phenomenon which is different for different charge carriers.
The Hall effect can be used to measure the average drift velocity of the charge carriers by mechanically moving the Hall probe at different speeds until the Hall voltage disappears, showing that the charge carriers are now not moving with respect to the magnetic field.

 Hall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.
This effect is observed as a voltage (Hall voltage) perpendicular to the direction of current in the conductor.
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).

 Wikinfo | 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.
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.
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.

 Bell Labs: The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.
This "anomalous" effect took the physics community by surprise and came to be known as the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Therefore, if sensing electrodes are placed across the transverse dimension of the plate, a voltage, called the Hall voltage, will appear.
From these considerations, we see that a Hall sensor or sample in a Hall measurement should have low carrier density, but the carriers should have high mobility.

 Boris Skoric: Quantum Hall Effect
Since the Hall voltage is proportional to the current and the field strength, sending a known current through a medium and measuring the Hall voltage tells you the field strength.
The Hall conductance is a non-equilibrium property (electrons are injected into an edge channel and don't get time to equilibrate with the localised bulk states), while by tunneling one probes the equilibrium energy eigenstates.
Another effect of the interactions turns out to be that the so-called "neutral modes", which are degrees of freedom that are not related to the charge of the electrons, get strongly suppressed.

 Quantum Hall Effect
The previous Nobel prize awarded in the area of semiconductor physics was to Bardeen, Shockley and Brattain for invention of the transistor.
In a two-dimensional metal or semiconductor the Hall effect is also observed, but at low temperatures a series of steps appear in the Hall resistance as a function of magnetic field instead of the monotonic increase.
The difference in the QHE is that the Hall resistance can not change from the quantised value for the whole time the Fermi energy is in a gap, i.e between the fields (a) and (b) in the diagram, and so a plateau results.
