We have observed the Hall effect in the field-induced accumulation layer on the surface of single-crystal samples of a small-molecule organic semiconductor rubrene. The Hall mobility muH increases with decreasing temperature in both the intrinsic (high-temperature) and trap-dominated (low-temperature) conduction
