Phys. Rev. Lett. 28, 303–307 (1972)Left-Right Asymmetry in the Scattering of Electrons by Magnetic Impurities, and a Hall EffectReceived 25 October 1971; published in the issue dated 31 January 1972 Left-right asymmetry is expected in the scattering of electrons by magnetic impurities in metals; we present a simple calculation of the asymmetry in a virtual-bound-state model. When a magnetic field lines up the impurity moments, this left-right asymmetry should generate an extraordinary Hall effect proportional to the impurity concentration. This effect appears to occur in many magnetic alloys (e.g., Ni-, Cu-, and Au- based alloys). © 1972 The American Physical Society URL:
