摘要: Abstract Universal conductance fluctuations (UCF) in the magnetoresistance of electron beam lithographed n+-GaAs wires length 10 μm and widths down to 90 nm are examined over temperature range from 2 110 K at magnetic fields up 11 T. The data interpreted terms a simple physical model based on Fourier transforms which indicates an intimate connection between UCF weak-localisation. Numerical values obtained for phase-breaking scattering rate contains significant temperature-independent contribution. In transverse laterally confined n−-GaAs/(AlGa)As heterostructures, both negative magnetoresistance, arising localisation interaction effects, vary as B cos θ where is angle 2DEG plane.
