Hall Coefficient and Thermoelectric Power of Thorium Metal

Abstract

The Hall coefficient of two samples of thorium metal was measured at room temperature in magnetic fields on the order of 4000 gauss, and an average value of -1.2×${10}^{-11\mathrm{}}$ volt-cm/abampere gauss obtained. The voltage of a thorium-platinum thermocouple in the temperature range 400°C to 1100°C is also reported.
