Abstract

We have investigated the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the Hall coefficient of two well-characterized superconducting MgB2 films (Tc0=38.0K) in both the normal and superconducting states. Our results show that the normal-state Hall coefficient RH is positive and increases with decreasing temperature, independent of the applied magnetic field (to 8 T). We find that RH−1∝T(40–300K) and cotθH∝T2(100–300K). As the sample is cooled below Tc(H), RH decreases rapidly with temperature and changes sign before it reaches zero. The position and magnitude at which RH shows a minimum depends on the applied field.
