scholarly journals The hall effect in liquid electrolytes

The distortion of the lines of flow of an electric current in a thin metal plate by the action of a magnetic field was discovered in 1879. Hall attributed this to the action of the magnetic field on the molecular currents in the metal film, which were deflected to one side or the other and accompanied by a corresponding twist of the equipotential lines. This explanation did not pass without criticism, and another theory of the effect found by Hall was published in 1884. In that paper the author seeks to explain the effect by assuming a combination of certain mechanical strains and Peltier effects, a thermo-electric current being set up between the strained and the unstrained portions. The effect of such strain was to produce a reverse effect in some metals, and these were precisely the metals for which the Hall effect was found to reverse. Aluminium was the only exception. In other respects, however, as shown by Hall in a later paper, Bidwell's theory did not stand the test of experiment, and the results lend no support to his theory, while they are in complete accordance withe the explanation that the molecular currents are disturbed by the action of the magnetic field. On the electron theory of metallic conduction, the mechanism of the Hall effect is more obvious, but at present no satisfactory explanation of the reversal found in some metals is known. Further experiments have made it clear that there is a real deflection of the elementary currents, due to the application of the magnetic field, independent of any effect due to strain.

The Lorentz force that a magnetic field exerts on a moving charge carrier is perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the magnetic field. Since both electric and thermal currents are carried by mobile electrons and ions, a wide range of galvanomagnetic and thermomagnetic effects result. The effects that occur in an isotropic polycrystalline metal are illustrated in Fig. 20.1. As to be expected, many more cross-coupled effects occur in less symmetric solids. The galvanomagnetic experiments involve electric field, electric current, and magnetic field as variables. The Hall Effect, transverse magnetoresistance, and longitudinal magnetoresistance all describe the effects of magnetic fields on electrical resistance. Analogous experiments on thermal conductivity are referred to as thermomagnetic effects. In this case the variables are heat flow, temperature gradient, and magnetic field. The Righi–Leduc Effect is the thermal Hall Effect in which magnetic fields deflect heat flow rather than electric current. The transverse thermal magnetoresistance (the Maggi–Righi–Leduc Effect) and the longitudinal thermal magnetoresistance are analogous to the two galvanomagnetic magnetoresistance effects. Additional interaction phenomena related to the thermoelectric and piezoresistance effects will be discussed in the next two chapters. In tensor form Ohm’s Law is . . .Ei = ρijJj , . . . where Ei is electrical field, Jj electric current density, and ρij the electrical resistivity in Ωm. In describing the effect of magnetic field on electrical resistance, we expand the resistivity in a power series in magnetic flux density B. B is used rather than the magnetic field H because the Lorentz force acting on the charge carriers depends on B not H.

The model of a single Nuclotron-type cable is presented. The goal of this model is to assess the behaviour of the cable under different loads. Two meshes with different simplifications are applied. In the first case, the superconductor in the cable is modelled as single region. Second mesh considers individual strands of the cable. The significant differences between the distributions of the electric current density obtained with both models are observed. The magnetic field remains roughly similar.

The paper presents the concept of self-diagnosing smart bolts and its experimental validation. In the present research such bolts are designed, built, and experimentally tested. As a key element of the design, wires of Galfenol (alloy of iron and gallium) are used. This material shows magnetostrictive properties, and, at the same time, is sufficiently ductile to follow typical deformation of rock bolts, and is economically affordable. Two types of Galfenol were used: Ga10Fe90 and Ga17Fe83. The wires have been installed in bolts using two designs — in a drilled central hole or in a cut along the side — and the bolts were tested for generation of the magnetic field under three-point bending loading. To measure the magnetic field in the process of deformation, a magnetometer that utilizes the GMR effect was designed, built, and compared with one utilizing the Hall effect. It is shown that (1) magnetic field generated by deformation of the smart bolts at the stress level of plastic deformation is sufficient to be noticed by the proposed magnetometer; however, the magnetometer using Hall effect is insufficient; (2) Ga10Fe90 produces higher magnetic fields than Ga17Fe83; (3) the magnetic field in plastically bended bolts is relatively stable with time.

A technique for determining the depth and opening of a surface two-dimensional defect in a ferromagnet is presented, that is resistant to input data errors. Defects and magnetic transducers are located on opposite sides of the metal plate. The nonlinear properties of the ferromagnet are taken into account. The components of the magnetic field in the metal were reconstructed from the measured components of the magnetic field above the defect-free surface of the metal. As a result of numerical experiments, the limits of applicability of the method were obtained. The results of the technique have been verified experimentally.

It is explained how plateaux are seen in the Hall conductance of two dimensional electron gases, at cryogenic temperatures, when the magnetic field is scanned from zero to ~10T. On a Hall plateau σ‎xy = ne 2/h, where n is integral, while the longitudinal conductance vanishes. This is the integral quantum Hall effect. Free electrons in such devices are shown to occupy quantized Landau levels, analogous to classical cyclotron orbits. The stability of the IQHE is shown to be associated with a mobility gap rather than an energy gap. The analysis showing the topological origin of the IQHE is reproduced. Next the fractional QHE is described: Laughlin’s explanation in terms of an IQHE of quasiparticles is presented. In the absence of any magnetic field, the quantum spin Hall effect is observed, and described here. Time reversal invariance and Kramer pairs are seen to be underlying requirements. It’s topological origin is outlined.

The equilibrium configuration of a slowly rotating self-gravitating perfectly conducting inviscid liquid, in the presence of a small poloidal magnetic field, is considered for a case where the electric current is a simple function of the distance from the axis of rotation. Owing to the coupling of the magnetic field with the rotation the electric current may reverse direction. This could make the magnetic field zero on certain surfaces and impose restrictions on the parameters of the problem. A perturbation expansion of the nearly spherical surface of the liquid is constructed.

In the past decade, a renewed interest on electromagnetic processing of materials has motivated several investigations on the interaction between matter, electric and magnetic fields. These effects are primarily reconducted to the Joule heating and very little attention has been dedicated to the magnetic field contributions. The magnetic field generated during electric current-assisted sintering has not been widely investigated. Magnetism could have significant effects on sintering as it generates significant magnetic forces, resulting in inductive electrical loads and preferential heating induced by overlapping magnetic fields (i.e., proximity effect). This work summarizes the magnetic field effects in electric current-assisted processing; it focuses on health and safety issues associated with large currents (up to 0.4 MA); using FEM simulations, it computes the self-generated magnetic field during spark plasma sintering (SPS) to consolidate materials with variable magnetic permeability; and it quantifies the Lorentz force acting at interparticle contact points. The results encourage one to pay more attention to magnetic field-related effects in order to engineer and exploit their potentials.
