The authors study theoretically the electrical conductivity in a field-induced spin density wave (FISDW) in Bechgaard salts in a high magnetic field. They find a new contribution to the Hall conductivity, which appears only in a FISDW with N not equal to 0. Furthermore, this Hall conductance has an activated form with an energy gap omega/sub 0/ at low temperatures, unlike the quantum Hall effect. Therefore, the present theory predicts that the Hall resistance increases exponentially at low temperatures, which can be tested experimentally.
