Quasi-1D organic conductors are made up of an array of long molecular strands that confine the flow of electrons to essentially one dimension. This reduced dimensionality results in unique behaviors, such as angle-dependent magnetoresistance. New experiments with a particular quasi-1D organic conductor have revealed an unexpected Hall effect. As reported in Physical Review Letters, the characteristic Hall resistance oscillates as the orientation of the magnetic field is rotated with respect to the conductor’s lattice structure.
