Our measurements demonstrate that this is a robust fundamental property of the normal state of cuprates with intertwined orders, exhibited in the previously unexplored regime of T and H. The behavior of the high-field Hall coefficient is fundamentally different from that in other cuprates such as YBa2Cu3O6+x and YBa2Cu4O8, and may imply an approximate particle-hole symmetry that is unique to stripe-ordered cuprates. Our results highlight the important role of the competing orders in determining the normal state of cuprates. The Hall effect has been used as a probe of the normal state of cuprates, when superconductivity is supressed by a magnetic field. Here, the authors report the vanishing of the Hall coefficient at high magnetic field in cuprates with stripe order and interpret it as a signature of the stripe-ordered phase.

Abstract
Electrons confined to two dimensions display an unexpected diversity of behaviors as they are cooled to absolute zero. Noninteracting electrons are predicted to eventually "localize" into an insulating ground state, and it has long been supposed that electron correlations stabilize only one other phase: superconductivity. However, many two-dimensional (2D) superconducting materials have shown surprising evidence for metallic behavior, where the electrical resistivity saturates in the zero-temperature limit; the nature of this unexpected metallic state remains under intense scrutiny. We report electrical transport properties for two disordered 2D superconductors, indium oxide and tantalum nitride, and observe a magnetic field-tuned transition from a true superconductor to a metallic phase with saturated resistivity. This metallic phase is characterized by a vanishing Hall resistivity, suggesting that it retains particle-hole symmetry from the disrupted superconducting state.

Evolution of electronic states in n-type copper oxide superconductor via electric double layer gating. Sci Rep 2016; 6:26642.

Abstract
The occurrence of electrons and holes in n-type copper oxides has been achieved by chemical doping, pressure, and/or deoxygenation. However, the observed electronic properties are blurred by the concomitant effects such as change of lattice structure, disorder, etc. Here, we report on successful tuning the electronic band structure of n-type Pr2−xCexCuO4 (x = 0.15) ultrathin films, via the electric double layer transistor technique. Abnormal transport properties, such as multiple sign reversals of Hall resistivity in normal and mixed states, have been revealed within an electrostatic field in range of −2 V to + 2 V, as well as varying the temperature and magnetic field. In the mixed state, the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity invokes the contribution of both electron and hole-bands as well as the energy dependent density of states near the Fermi level. The two-band model can also describe the normal state transport properties well, whereas the carrier concentrations of electrons and holes are always enhanced or depressed simultaneously in electric fields. This is in contrast to the scenario of Fermi surface reconstruction by antiferromagnetism, where an anti-correlation is commonly expected.

Self-duality and a Hall-insulator phase near the superconductor-to-insulator transition in indium-oxide films. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2015; 113:280-5.

Abstract
We combine measurements of the longitudinal (ρxx) and Hall (ρxy) resistivities of disordered 2D amorphous indium-oxide films to study the magnetic-field tuned superconductor-to-insulator transition (H-SIT) in the T --> 0 limit. At the critical field, Hc, the full resistivity tensor is T independent with ρxx(Hc) = h/4e(2) and ρxy(Hc) = 0 within experimental uncertainty in all films (i.e., these appear to be "universal" values); this is strongly suggestive that there is a particle-vortex self-duality at H = Hc. The transition separates the (presumably) superconducting state at H < Hc from a "Hall-insulator" phase in which ρxx --> ∞ as T --> 0 whereas ρxy approaches a nonzero value smaller than its "classical value" H/nec; i.e., 0 < ρxy < H/nec. A still higher characteristic magnetic field, Hc* > Hc, at which the Hall resistance is T independent and roughly equal to its classical value, ρxy ≈ H/nec, marks an additional crossover to a high-field regime (probably to a Fermi insulator) in which ρxy > H/nec and possibly diverges as T --> 0. We also highlight a profound analogy between the H-SIT and quantum-Hall liquid-to-insulator transitions (QHIT).

Abstract
The in-plane longitudinal and Hall resistivities, ρxx and ρxy, of superconducting NaFe1-xCoxAs (NFCA) single crystals with x = 0.022 and 0.0205 in the mixed state and the normal state were measured to study the electrical transport properties in nearly optimum-doping iron-based superconductors. The resistivities under magnetic fields show thermally activated behavior and a power law magnetic field dependence of activation energy has been obtained. Due to the weak flux pinning, there is no sign reversal of Hall resistivities observed for NFCA with either x = 0.022 or 0.0205. The correlation between longitudinal and Hall resistivities shows that the scaling behavior of |ρxy| ∝ (ρxx)(β) with the exponent β ≈ 2.0 is in agreement with theoretical predictions for weak-pinning superconductors. Anisotropic upper critical fields and coherence lengths with an anisotropy ratio of γ ≈ 1.63 have been deduced. Furthermore, the normal-state transport properties show that the anomalies of the linear-T resistivity, the T(2)-dependent cotangent of the Hall angle, the linear-T-like Hall number, and the magnetoresistance, which can be scaled by the modified Kohler rule, are analogous to those observed on optimally doped high-Tc superconducting cuprates and other pnictides. The longitudinal resistivity can be understood within a widely accepted scenario of the spin density-wave quantum critical point, while the transverse resistivity requires some further explanation. It is suggested that all the transport anomalies should be simultaneously taken into account when developing theory.
