Abstract
The general validity of the van der Pauw‐Hall measurement technique for arbitrarily shaped samples has recently been disputed, and the claim has been made that the samples must have mirror symmetry. Here, it is shown that the analysis leading to the mirror symmetry requirement is more restrictive than necessary and that arbitrary shapes can be used. It is also shown that even with nonsymmetric shapes, magnetoresistance effects are eliminated by reversing the magnetic field and averaging the data.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
