This paper forms a part of a series of manuscripts which we intend to submit for publication in the near future, aiming to test the validity of the thermodynamic field theory (TFT), previously formulated, comparing the theoretical results with experimental data. In this particular case, we shall analyze the Hall effect. As known, when a magnetic field is applied at right angles to the direction of an electric current or a thermal gradient, galvano- and thermomagnetic effects appear in the material. In this paper, we shall show that if we study these effects in nonlinear regime, the TFT foresees an interesting effect: the nonlinear Hall effect. This prediction is herein submitted to experimental verifications. In this paper, we shall analyze this effect studying materials with weak thermoelectric power coefficients. We shall show the agreement between the theoretical predictions of the TFT and experiments. Experimental curves related to the nonlinear Hall effect allow us to determine the order of magnitude of the constant χ introduced in the TFT.
