26. A feature evident in Fig. 1 and not discussed in the main text is that RH(H) decreases with increasing field because ρHall(H) is slightly sublinear. While this effect is sufficiently small that it does not change the salient conclusions of this Letter, we note that the departure from linearity is larger as p increases. As recently demonstrated for an electron-doped cuprate superconductor [P. Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 047003 (2007)], this is most likely a precursor of the eventual change of sign of RH at p∼0.3. The saturation of the Hall angle, arctan (ρHall/ρab), could also contribute to nonliner Hall response at high field, particularly in the multiband scenario; however, we estimate the relative effect to be of the order of (ρHall/ρab) 2<2×10-3 for our films.
