Electrical conductivity of anisotropic semiconductors in quantizing magnetic fields

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Scattering of a conduction electron with anisotropic mass upon aδ-shaped impurity potential in a homogeneous quantizing magnetic field is studied. An expression is obtained for the transverse electrical conductivity, on the basis of which the dependence of σyy on magnetic field direction is calculated for n-type Ge. The results obtained are analyzed.
