Theory and Computation of Hall Scattering Factor in Graphene

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

The Hall scattering factor, r, is a key quantity for establishing carrier concentration and drift mobility from Hall measurements; in experiments, it is usually assumed to be 1. In this paper, we use a combination of analytical and ab initio modeling to de ...

Lorentz Force from a Current-Carrying Wire on a Charge in Motion under the Assumption of Neutrality in the Symmetrical Frame of Reference

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

It is commonly assumed that a wire conducting an electric current is neutral in the laboratory frame of reference (the rest frame of the lattice of positive ions). Some authors consider that the wire is neutral only in a symmetrical frame of reference, in ...
