“…These typically have wire widths of a few millimetres to a few hundred micrometres, with some going down to a few tens of μm. Examples of these applications include electrical compasses, gyrators, linear magnetic field sensors, vane sensors, speed sensors, position sensors and Hall effect thrusters, just to name a few [8]. Many of these uses and examples are very well covered by the various reviews that have appeared over the decades since their rapid adoption [4,[9][10][11].…”

Hall sensors have become one of the most used magnetic sensors in recent decades, performing the vital function of providing a magnetic sense that is naturally absent in humans. Various electronic applications have evolved from circuit-integrated Hall sensors due to their low cost, simple linear magnetic field response, ability to operate in a large magnetic field range, high magnetic sensitivity and low electronic noise, in addition to many other advantages. Recent developments in the fabrication and performance of graphene Hall devices promise to open up the realm of Hall sensor applications by not only widening the horizon of current uses through performance improvements, but also driving Hall sensor electronics into entirely new areas. In this review paper we describe the evolution from the traditional selection of Hall device materials to graphene Hall devices, and explore the various applications enabled by them. This includes a summary of the selection of materials and architectures for contemporary micro-to nanoscale Hall sensors. We then turn our attention to introducing graphene and its remarkable physical properties and explore how this impacts the magnetic sensitivity and electronic noise of graphene-based Hall sensors. We summarise the current state-of-the art of research into graphene Hall probes, demonstrating their record-breaking performance. Building on this, we explore the various new application areas graphene Hall sensors are pioneering such as magnetic imaging and non-destructive testing. Finally, we look at recent encouraging results showing that graphene Hall sensors have plenty of room to improve, before then discussing future prospects for industry-level scalable fabrication.

“…A Hall switch has an on/off state, also known as digital Hall-effect sensors, combines of a linear sensor and a threshold detector and an output driver. Latches are also the Hall effect switches which have different reactions to magnetic field compared with typical switch [9]. One of the advantages of the "non-contacting" operation of such sensor is a nearly infinite life [12].…”

Contemporarily, plenty of important breakthroughs in the systematic theoretical research of Hall effect as well as a great number of applications of Hall effect have taken place. In this paper, we elucidate the theoretical development and application of the Hall effect. To be specific, the category of Hall effect and recent progress in this research field. According to the analysis, the study of Hall effect was a complex system and still have potential to develop further on theories or applications. In addition, the scheme to effectively apply Quantum Anomalous Hall effect on high-performance electronic devices and the path to commercially manufacture them should be followed with interest are detailly demonstrated. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of emerging subject, e.g., the 3D Hall effect and Valley Hall effect and their corresponding applications.

“…The fluxgate current sensor has a large size and large power consumption, so its development is limited. The non-contact leakage current sensor mainly adopts the Hall current sensor [7], but the low sensitivity and temperature sensitivity of the Hall current sensor limit its application in power systems. It cannot meet the current measurement technical requirements of digital and high-reliability online monitoring systems in the smart grid.…”

The status of zinc oxide (ZnO) arresters is directly related to the safety of power grids. However, as the service life of ZnO arresters increases, their insulation performance may decrease due to factors such as operating voltage and humidity, which can be identified through the measurement of leakage current. Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors with high sensitivity, good temperature stability, and small size are excellent for measuring leakage current. This paper constructs a simulation model of the arrester and investigates the deployment of the TMR current sensor and the size of the magnetic concentrating ring. The arrester’s leakage current magnetic field distribution under different operating conditions is simulated. The simulation model can aid in optimizing the detection of leakage current in arresters using TMR current sensors, and the findings serve as a basis for monitoring the condition of arresters and improving the installation of current sensors. The TMR current sensor design offers potential advantages such as high accuracy, miniaturization, and ease of distributed application measurement, making it suitable for large-scale use. Finally, the validity of the simulations and conclusions is verified through experiments.
