A brief History of the Anomalous Hall Effect
1954 Karplus Luttinger; transport theory on lattice Discovered anomalous velocity v = eE x .Earliest example of Berry-phase physics in solids.
1955 Smit introduced skew-scattering model (semi-classical). Expts confusing
1958-1964 Adams, Blount, Luttinger Elaborations of anomalous velocity in KL theory
1962 Kondo, Marazana Applied skew-scattering model to rare-earth magnets (s-f model) but RH off by many orders of magnitude.
1970’s Berger Side-jump model (extrinsic effect)1973 Nozieres Lewiner AHE in semiconductor. Recover Yafet result (CESR)
1975-85 Expt. support for skew-scattering in dilute Kondo systems (param. host). Luttinger theory recedes.
1983 Berry phase theorem. Topological theories of Hall effect
1890? Observation of AHE in Ni by Erwin Hall1935 Pugh showed xy’ ~ M
1999-2003 Berry phase derivation of Luttinger velocity (Onoda, Nagaosa, Niu, Jungwirth, MacDonald, Murakami, Zhang, Haldane)
