Near the superconducting phase transition, fluctuations significantly modify the electronic transport properties. Here we study the fluctuation corrections to the Hall conductivity in disordered films, extending previous derivations to a broader range of temperatures and magnetic fields, including t...

Description
Summary:Near the superconducting phase transition, fluctuations significantly modify the electronic transport properties. Here we study the fluctuation corrections to the Hall conductivity in disordered films, extending previous derivations to a broader range of temperatures and magnetic fields, including the vicinity of the magnetic field induced quantum critical point. In the process, we found a new contribution to the Hall conductivity that was not considered before. Recently, our theory has been used to fit measurements of the Hall resistance in amorphous TaN films.
