Abstract

Abstract The Hall coefficient has been measured by an a.c. method for three liquid metals over a range of temperatures above their melting points. The results for tin agree with the predictions of a free electron model. The results for mercury and indium do not show perfect agreement, those for mercury being 20% higher than the free electron value and those for indium 20% lower. These departures appear to be significant. The paper includes a brief discussion of some of the technical difficulties involved in the study of the Hall effect in liquid metals.
