Description: The Hall coefficent has been measured at liquid helium temperatures in the magnetic field range of 0.08-3.8 kilogauss for evaporated indium films with thicknesses between 900 and 2,500 Angstroms. For all films studied the Hall coefficient was positive; there was no sign reversal of the typer observed in some rolled films at low magnetic fields. The coefficients obtained were slightly smaller than those previously reported for bulk films at comparable values of reduced magnetic field. Below the superconducting critical temperatures in the weak-field region a large and unexpected transverse potential difference, independent of magnetic field direction, was observed. As the magnetic field was incerased, this potential difference reversed sign and underwent damped, aperiodic oscillation in some samples. However, in the higher-field region a normal Hall voltage was present, and the Hall coefficient was in good agreement with the data above the critical temperature.
