HALL EFFECT, RESISTIVITY, AND MAGNETORESISTIVITY OF Th, U, Zr, Ti, AND Nb
The Hall effect, resistivity, and magnetoresistivity of Th, U, Zr, Ti, and Nb have been studied at temperatures between -- 1 deg K and room temperature and in magnetic fields up to 30 kilogauss. Strong temperature and purity dependences were observed in the Hall coefficients of U, Ti, and Zr. In addition, the Hall coefficient of Zr was strongly dependent upon magnetic field strength at liquid helium temperatures. Comparisons with theory have been carried out, and it is concluded that existing theortes are not sufficiently general to account quantitatively for the observed temperature and magnetic field dependences of the Hall effect and resistivity. Unusual behavior was observed in the magnetic-field-induced superconducting transition of Nb. (auth)
