What is correct?
Hall effect in the compounds with a CDW.Hall effect in the compounds with a CDW. ( (EE>>EEtt))

Explanation – CDW itself does not give contribution to the Hall voltage. CDW itself does not give contribution to the Hall voltage. Non linear Hall voltage is result of normal metal Non linear Hall voltage is result of normal metal “back-flow” (S. Artemenko and F. Kruglov, (Sov. Phys. Solid State, 1984)

no visible contribution to the Hall effect. (PRB, 1981)no visible contribution to the Hall effect. (PRB, 1981)
Where is back-flow?
“Back-flow” model predictsreduction of VH also in NbSe3 especially at the temperatures close to Tp.
ExperimentalExperimental
1. Evaporation of gold contactsto the opposite faces of crystal
2. Preparation of Hall probesfrom the crystal itself
Two types of structure:
In both cases the change in voltage on the Hall pairs of contacts[V1,3(+B)-V1,3(-B)]/2 or [V2,4(+B)-V2,4(-B)]/2 wastaken to be equal to the Hall voltage, VH, and the sum[V1,3(+B)+V1,3(-B)]/2 or [V2,4(+B)+V2,4(-B)]/2 wastaken as a longitudinal drop of voltage.
Experimental results (Experimental results (EE<<EEtt))
At low electric field (E<<Et) the Hall voltage is linear function of current.CDW does not give the contribution to theelectric transport. RH=VH/I
RH is strongly magnetic field dependent and demonstrates the reversal of the Hallconstant sign at all temperatures

1. Field generation model – CDW generates normal carriers2. CDW motion deforms electron or hole pockets.3. “back-flow” model if CDW interacts with one type of carriers only (with light holes?).
Three possibility to explain:
In both cases – strong influence of CDW motion on the Hall voltage.
To make this effect more pronounce, we determine the difference
δVH=VH-Vlin
The last term is the linear Hall voltage dependence observed at low electric field below the threshold.
30 K
Below Et – visible deviation of the Hall voltage from linear dependence.Position of this deviations coincides with corresponding singularities inIV-curve. Most probably – this effect is attributed by the local CDW deformations.
Temperarure evolutionTemperarure evolution
Deviation of the Hall voltage from linear `dependence decreases with the temperature increase.
δ VH=A·exp(-T/T0)
T0=3.4 K
conclusionconclusion1. Hall voltage, VH, changes sign in a wide temperature range and the magnetic field for which VH crosses zero is temperature dependent. The two band model needs corrections.2. Electron and hole pockets demonstrate qualitatively different magnetoresistance behavior. 3. in high magnetic field the CDW motion changes significantly the Hall voltage at all temperatures below Tp2, that can not be explained in the frame of "back-flow" model. 4. Our results indicate that the CDW in the sliding state interacts differently with electrons and holes leading strong change in the normal carriers concentration at Et.
