ABSTRACT: We have measured the Hall effect and the transverse
magnetoresistance in NbSe3 single crystals. In the liquid helium
temperature range we observed an absolute negative magnetoresistance
(NMR) — the value of the resistance under magnetic field being much
lower than that at zero field — in NbSe3 single crystals with a
thickness less than 5μm with the magnetic field oriented in the
(b, c) plane. We show that this NMR effect is observed in the
magnetic field range in which the Hall constant changes its sign.
The results are qualitatively explained by the change of the surface
scattering contribution to the magnetoconductance in the magnetic
field range near the Hall voltage zero crossing.

ABSTRACT: Results of Hall effect measurements are reported both below and above the threshold electric field, E(t), for depinning the low temperature charge density wave (CDW) in NbSe(3) in a wide temperature range. At low electric fields, below E(t), we have observed a change in the sign of the Hall voltage at all temperatures lower than T(p2). Comparison between the Hall effect and the magnetoresistance behavior indicates that the n-type conductivity in the low magnetic field range differs qualitatively from the p-type conductivity in the high field range. We demonstrate that at low temperature the CDW motion significantly alters the Hall voltage. These results indicate that, in NbSe(3), the CDW in the sliding state interacts essentially with holes. Possible mechanisms of this effect are discussed.
