Abstract
We present a systematic investigation of the influence of cross geometry on the Hall effect in narrow ballistic wires. Various differently shaped cross regions have been fabricated, which demonstrate that near zero magnetic field the Hall resistance can be quenched, enhanced over its classical value, or even negative. A ‘‘last plateau’’ is seen in all devices, proving that its cause is not intimately linked to the quenching. A simple physical picture is presented showing how these effects come about from the scattering of electrons in such geometries.Keywords
