Want this question answered?
hall coefficient of a lightly doped semiconductor will decrease with increase in temp as hall coefficient is inversely proportional to number density of charge carriers.
physical significance of hall coefficient
The Hall coefficient has the same sign as the charge carrier. The charge carrier in a normal electric current, the electron, is negative, and as a result the Hall coefficient is negative.
The difference in the electron and hole mobilities is responsible for the small negative Hall coefficient of intrisic semiconductors. Refs: C.M.Hurd : Hall effect in metals and alloys R.Asokamani :solid state physics Busch& Schade; Solid state Physics
What happens depends on the temperature coefficient of the diode. If that diode has a positive temperature coefficient, it resistance increases with increased temperature. A diode with a negative temperature coefficient does the opposite.
Negative temperature coefficient of resistance means that as the temperature of a piece of wire or a strip of semiconducting material increases, the electrical resistance of that material decreases.
negative 'temperature coefficient of reactivity'
The coefficient of viscosity of liquids decreases with an increases in temperature.
The diffusion coefficient depends on temperature in direct negative exponent.
ntc: negative temperature coefficient ptc: positive temperature coefficient
Temperature coefficient of the PN intersection voltage to balance the temperature coefficient of the warm voltage.
• ntc 'negative temperature coefficient': its resistance decreases as the temperature increases• ptc 'positive temperature coefficient': its resistance increases as the temperature increases
