We show that in the absence of Coulomb interaction the Hall resistivity depends neither on the tunneling conductance nor on the intragrain disorder and is given by the classical formula $\\rho_{xy}=H/(n^* e c)$, where $n^*$ differs from the carrier density $n$ inside the grains by a numerical coefficient determined by the shape of the grains. The Coulomb interaction gives rise to logarithmic in temperature $T$ correction to $\\rho_{xy}$ in the range $\\Ga \\lesssim T \\lesssim \\min(g_T E_c,\\ETh)$, where $\\Ga$ is the tunneling escape rate, $E_c$ is the charging energy and $\\ETh$ is the Thouless energy of the grain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-09-28T13:45:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "granular metals", "coulomb interaction", "hall resistivity depends", "intragrain disorder", "carrier density" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
