arXiv:2211.05761 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.91.125001

Abstract

The weak-field Hall conductivity in metals is interpreted in terms of the curvature of the Fermi surface in the main part. In the appendix the orbital magnetic-susceptibility and the magneto-conductivity in metals are discussed focusing on Peierls' area factor.

An appendix (Hall conductivity is proportional to diamagnetic susceptibility) is added in v3
