Geometrical interpretation of Hall conductivity in metals

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2024-09-11 v3

Abstract

The weak-field Hall conductivity in metals is interpreted in terms of the curvature of the Fermi surface in the main part. In the appendix the orbital magnetic-susceptibility and the magneto-conductivity in metals are discussed focusing on Peierls' area factor.
