Hall Effect in Lyotropic Liquid Crystals

It is known that Hall effect takes place in different media. The Hall effect is well studied in semiconductors. It is known quantum, quantum spin, the anomalous Hall effect, as well as the Hall effect in ionized gases. However, up to date, as evidenced from the review of scientific literature, the study of this effect in lyotropic liquid crystals (LLC) was given insufficient attention. In this paper the peculiarities of the Hall effect in the LLC were studied. It was shown that in liquid crystal systems Hall potential is approximately 100times greater than in semiconductors. Also it was shown that after removal of the electric and magnetic fields, the Hall potential in LLC remained intact, decreasing over time, and periodically reversing its sign.
