> I haven't (and perhaps CAN'T) work through the Hall Effect in the
'Correct Way' to see that holes are 'just' the absence of an
electron).
Chuck Britton
Consider a magnetic field into the page. Now introduce both electrons
moving to the right and positive carriers moving to the left. Both
constitute a current to the left. The qVxB force will force both carrier
types down the page. The Hall voltage developed depends on WHICH CARRIER
TYPE IS FREE TO MOVE in response to that force.
