Hall effect
• Hall current usually forbidden by boundary conditions
• Hall field
q

Ẽ × B
m Γ − iω
• replace Ẽ by Ẽ + Ẽ H
Ẽ H = −
• Ẽ H × B can be neglected
• current J̃ (ω) = σ(ω)Ẽ(ω) as usual
• additional Hall field Ẽ H (ω) = R(ω)J̃ (ω) × B
• Hall constant R = −1/N q does not depend on ω
• . . . if there is a dominant charge carrier.
• R has different sign for electrons and holes
