Japanese physicists have observed an elusive form of the “Hall effect” in a nonmagnetic material for the first time ever. The material, cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2), now proves theoretical predictions ...

In-plane magnetic fields are responsible for inducing anomalous Hall effect in certain films, report researchers. By studying how these fields change electronic structures, the team discovered a large ...

Interactions between electrons in solids often lead to effects that go beyond simple, intuitive pictures of what should be possible. One example stems from the Hall effect, which describes how the ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...
