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×${10}^{-6\mathrm{}}$ emu, which can be compared with the value of 800×${10}^{-6\mathrm{}}$ emu for normal vanadium. The theoretical implications will be discussed in a separate paper.
