Abstract
Using the Drude-Boltzmann semiclassical transport theory, we calculate the weak-field Hall resistance of a two-dimensional system at low densities and temperatures, assuming carrier scattering by screened random charged impurity centers. The temperature-dependent 2D Hall coefficient shows striking nonmonotonicity in strongly screened systems, and, in particular, we qualitatively explain the recent puzzling experimental observation of a decreasing Hall resistance with increasing temperature in a dilute 2D hole system. We predict that the impurity scattering limited Hall coefficient will eventually increase with temperature at higher temperatures.
