scanning hall probe microscopy (shpm) is a scanning probe microscopy technique developed to observe and image magnetic fields locally. this method is based on application of the hall effect, supplied by a micro hall probe attached to the end of cantilever as a sensor.  shpm provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under a...

The dependence of contact resistance on current has been measured for a large number of ohmic contacts to quantized Hall resistors under quantum Hall effect conditioDS.Five different functional forms of current dependence are observed at low currents. The trend from best to worst quality can be correlated with the density of defects in the contact, regardless of the physical cause of the defect...

Impulse formulations of Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are developed. The Lagrange invariance of a generalized magnetic helicity is established for Hall MHD. The physical implications of this Lagrange invariant are discussed. The discussion is then extended to compressible Hall MHD. Compressibility effects are show not to affect, as to be expected, the physical implications of the gen...

The quasiclassical Green function formalism is used to describe charge and spin dynamics in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. We review the results obtained for the spin Hall effect on restricted geometries. The role of boundaries is discussed in the framework of spin diffusion equations.
