Abstract
Some problems involved in the interpretation of Hall‐effect measurements in polycrystallinesemiconductors have not been resolved, especially when the contribution of the boundaries is appreciable. Using the Herring theory of transport properties in inhomogeneous semiconductors, we present an alternative interpretation to that previously proposed. This model permits the calculation of the Hall coefficient under general conditions.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
