Abstract

We have studied magneto transport in the single-band, quasi-two-dimensional metals PdCoO2 and PtCoO2, which have extremely long mean free paths. We observer a strong temperature dependence of the Hall resistivity in small applied, fields, linked to a large violation of Kohler's rule in the magnetoresistance. We discuss the extent to which these observations can be accounted for by standard transport theory, and describe other possible, unconventional contributions to magnetotransport in very high purity metals.
