SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the functionality and educational resources related to Hall probes, which are devices used to measure magnetic fields through the Hall effect. Participants recommend the book "Introduction to Electronics" by Theodore Korneff and suggest using HyperPhysics for a foundational understanding of the Hall effect. For more in-depth information, they point to academic resources such as IEEE Xplore and Google Scholar, which provide insights into semiconductor manufacturing and Hall sensor applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Hall effect
  • Familiarity with Hall probe applications
  • Basic knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing
  • Ability to navigate academic research databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Hall effect in detail using HyperPhysics
  • Explore the applications of Hall sensors through Melexis documentation
  • Investigate semiconductor manufacturing processes relevant to Hall probes
  • Access academic papers on Hall probes via IEEE Xplore and Google Scholar
USEFUL FOR

Students, electronics enthusiasts, and professionals in physics or engineering fields seeking to understand Hall probes and their applications in measuring magnetic fields.

Where could I find out how a Hall probe works? I have got a book in mind called Introduction to electronics by Theodore Korneff but am not sure how useful it will be. I have searched the web but cannot find a description of its working. :cry:

Engineering news on Phys.org
Googling the term Hall probe turned up 1.2 million pages: the first one being hyper-physics. Hyper physics has a very good description of how a Hall effect probe works. What exactly are you looking for?
 
Yeah, hyperphysics seems to mention the Hall effect more than the probe or is that all that can be mentioned? I guess, I am looking for something which perhaps explains how the design/construction/structure of the Hall probe enables the measurement of the Hall effect. Yeah that' s actually a good way to put it.

gets into the applications of a hall sensor...

are you looking for actual semiconductor manufacturing information. If so, check these out for academic papers. You wil probably have to tweak your search a bit, but chances are you will find it.
