The temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient of amorphous transition-metal alloys

Abstract
Precise measurements of the temperature dependence of the Hall effect are reported for the amorphous alloys Pd30Zr70, Ni64Zr36, Ni24Zr76, Fe24Zr76 and Cu50Ti50 as well as Pd80Si20 in the temperature range from 15 to 300K. In all cases the Hall resistivity was found to depend linearly on the magnetic field, which was varied from 0.1 to 1.2 T. The absolute value of the Hall coefficient decreases with increasing temperature in the transition-metal-transition-metal alloys. Some possible explanations are discussed.
