Abstract

In both high-Tc and low-Tc superconductors, the Hall effect in the mixed state often shows a sign reversal below Tc that contradicts standard theories for flux-vortex motion. We have measured the mixed-state Hall effect in high-quality superconducting films of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8, and find that the Hall angle α below Tc consists of two components: A field-independent component exhibits a complicated temperature dependence, including a sign change near Tc, while a second component with very weak temperature dependence is linear in field and resembles the normal-state Hall angle. The field independence of the sign-reversing component is evidence for vortex motion, and can be understood in terms of simple drag forces acting on vortices.
