A tunable room-temperature nonlinear Hall effect in elemental bismuth thin films

Posted in space travel

Room temperature mag levitation for hoverboards that is tunable also cars or spacecraft.


Polycrystalline thin films of elemental bismuth exhibit a room-temperature nonlinear transverse voltage due to geometric effects of surface electrons that is tunable and can be extended to efficient high-harmonic generation at terahertz frequencies.
