Search for the Hall Effect in a Superconductor. I. Experiment

Abstract

A search has been made for a Hall effect in superconducting vanadium, using a new method that avoids some of the difficulties previously encountered. The result is negative, with an upper limit of 150\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ emu, which can be compared with the value of 800\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ emu for normal vanadium. The theoretical implications will be discussed in a separate paper.
