Electrical hall effect

Wurtzite-structure ZnO thin films grown by a variety of deposition techniques, as well as commercially available single crystal bulk samples are discussed. Furthermore, data for ZnO thin films intermixed with numerous elements are reviewed. Most of the results are obtained by SE, which is a precise and reliable tool for measurements of the DFs. The SE results are supplemented by Raman scattering and electrical Hall-effect measurement data, as well as data reported in the literature by similar or alternative techniques (reflection, transmission, and luminescence excitation spectroscopy). 

Examples of even processes include heat conduction, electrical conduction, diflfiision and chemical reactions [4], Examples of odd processes include the Hall effect [12] and rotating frames of reference [4], Examples of the general setting that lacks even or odd synnnetry include hydrodynamics [14] and the Boltzmaim equation [15]. 

It is a white crystalline, brittle metal with a pinkish tinge. It occurs native. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals, and the thermal conductivity is lower than any metal, except mercury. It has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall effect of any metal (i.e., greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). 

The Hall Effect In the presence of an orthogonal magnetic field in the z-direction an x-directed electric current produces a y-directed gradient of the electrochemical potential. Similarly an x-directed thermal gradient produces a y-directed gradient of the electrochemical potential, known as the Nernst effect. 

We shall briefly discuss the electrical properties of the metal oxides. Thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, the Seebeck effect, and the Hall effect are some of the electron transport properties of solids that characterize the nature of the charge carriers. On the basis of electrical properties, the solid materials may be classified into metals, semiconductors, and insulators as shown in Figure 2.1. The range of electronic structures of oxides is very wide and hence they can be classified into two categories, nontransition metal oxides and transition metal oxides. In nontransition metal oxides, the cation valence orbitals are of s or p type, whereas the cation valence orbitals are of d type in transition metal oxides. A useful starting point in describing the structures of the metal oxides is the ionic model.5 Ionic crystals are formed between highly electropositive... 

The Hall effect, an electric field perpendicular to both the impressed current flow and to the applied magnetic field, gives information about the mobility of the charge carriers as well as their sign. The Hall coefficient RH - Ey/JxHe is proportional to the reciprocal of the carrier density. The Hall coefficient is negative for electron charge carriers. 

The effect increased with penetration of the wave front into the electric field. Addition of a magnetic field decreased the total current across the slug, by about 40% when the j x B force was in the direction of wave propagation, but by about 25% when the force was against this direction. There was no effect on the wave speed unless the j x B force was against the flow, in which case the wave speed was lowered by up to 10% on account of an increase of turbulence in the boundary layer. The changes in wave structure observed were attributed to the "Hall Effect ... 

The Hall Effect, in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), rotates the current vector away from the direction of the electric field and generally reduces the level of the force that the magnetic field exerts on the flow. It is usually measured by the parameter cor, where co = eB/m is the angular velocity of the electron orbits around the field lines, and r is the mean time between scattering collisions for the electrons. The form of Ohm s law which accounts for the Hall Effect (See Ref 2a) is ... 

In the field of nonmetallic catalysts, particularly of oxides, Hauffe and co-workers (14a) used only semiconductors for which information concerning electronic and ion defects was available from measurements of electrical conductivity, thermoelectric properties, and Hall effect. These workers obtain a quantitative correlation between the reaction rate, the amount of chemisorption, and the number of electron defects of the catalysts. Since every catalyzed reaction is initiated by a chemisorption process involving one or several of the reacting gases, and because the nature of this chemisorption process determines the subsequent steps of the reaction, it seems appropriate to begin with a discussion of the mechanism of chemisorption. 

We must now answer the question of what experimental methods to use to investigate cases of chemisorption involving boundary layers. This is possible by means of suitable electric methods. According to measurements of the electrical conductivity and of the Hall effect of polycrystalline ZnO samples by Anderson (36), Hahn (27), Miller (26), and Volger... 

We summarize what is special with these prototype fast ion conductors with respect to transport and application. With their quasi-molten, partially filled cation sublattice, they can function similar to ion membranes in that they filter the mobile component ions in an applied electric field. In combination with an electron source (electrode), they can serve as component reservoirs. Considering the accuracy with which one can determine the electrical charge (10 s-10 6 A = 10 7 C 10-12mol (Zj = 1)), fast ionic conductors (solid electrolytes) can serve as very precise analytical tools. Solid state electrochemistry can be performed near room temperature, which is a great experimental advantage (e.g., for the study of the Hall-effect [J. Sohege, K. Funke (1984)] or the electrochemical Knudsen cell [N. Birks, H. Rickert (1963)]). The early volumes of the journal Solid State Ionics offer many pertinent applications.
