[edit] Removal Of Cleanup Tag

Cleanup tag removed as I believe I have sufficiently cleaned this page up. It still requires some additions (which I plan to do in the next few days) but it is now in a 'clean' state. Blair - Speak to me 05:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hall measurements complete

The Hall measurements section is at least complete now, though I have plans for further improvement. Blair - Speak to me 04:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that this "overall Hall voltage" thing makes sense. You average over incompatible quantities. The only thing that can be averaged is the change of the van der Pauw resistance due to the switch of B, usually abbreviated ΔR13,24 etc. – Torsten Bronger 12:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iterative solver

I don't think that this iterative solver works. At least for my values of R it didn't. Apparently, it uses the Banach fixed point theorem and its preconditions are not fulfilled. I recommend to recommend nested intervals for solving the equation. – Torsten Bronger 11:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
