Using the formalism of force‐correlation functions for systems with two groups of charge carriers a formula for the Hall coefficient is derived. The formula is applied to the phonon‐assisted interband and intraband scattering of electrons and holes in paramagnetic transition metals. The experimentally observed maximum of the Hall coefficient at low temperatures can be understood by the different temperature dependences of the interband and intraband scattering terms in the expression for the Hall coefficient.
