Abstract
The Hall mobility associated with hopping motion differs qualitatively from that attributed to the notion of itinerant carriers. Particularly striking is the occurrence of Hall-effect sign anomalies: electrons and holes which circulate in a magnetic field in the sense of positive and negative charges, respectively. A concise overview of the theory of the small-polaron Hall effect is presented with emphasis being placed on the physical original of the small polaron’s distinctive properties.
