Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Four methods for measuring the Hall constant and the resistivity of thin semiconductor plates (the van der Pauw, Kon'kov, Lange, and Buchler-Pearson methods) have been experimentally checked and compared. The dependence of the corrections CH and C p on the ratio d/c has been studied over the range √2–10.
