Influence of small-angle scattering on magnetoresistance

  • Published:
Physik der kondensierten Materie

Abstract

Small-angle scattering can produce significant effects when the Fermi surface is able to provide both electron and hole orbits in a magnetic field. These orbits may run close to one another ink-space so that scattering through a small angle is sufficient to change the path of an electron radically. Simple models of the phenomenon will be described and their calculated behaviour compared with experimental results.
