Suppose I have an n-doped semiconductor and want to measure the electron concentration in the conduction band as a function of temperature.
How would I go about doing this by measuring the Hall coefficient as a function of temperature, given that I don't know the electron and hole mobilities and thus cannot (unless I am wrong here?) assume that the electrons provide the dominant contribution to the Hall coefficient.
If I could assume electrons were the dominant carriers it would be simple since then the Hall coefficient RH=-1/ne.
