Assuming short-range impurity scattering, we demonstrate that in the {\\em second order} in the interaction parameter, $\\lambda$, a {\\em linear} B-dependence, \\delta\\rho_{xx}(B)/\\rho_0\\sim \\lambda^2\\omega_c/E_F with {\\em temperature-independent} slope emerges in this domain of B (here \\omega_c and E_F are the cyclotron frequency and the Fermi energy, respectively). Unlike previous mechanisms, the linear magnetoresistance is {\\em unrelated} to the electron executing the full Larmour circle, but rather originates from the impurity scattering via the B-dependence of the {\\em phase} of the impurity-induced Friedel oscillations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-03-17T05:35:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.20.Fz", "71.10.-w", "72.10.-d", "73.23.Ad" ], "keywords": [ "high mobility 2d electron gas", "shubnikov-de haas oscillations", "weak localization", "high-mobility 2d electron gas" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 100, "number": 10, "pages": 106806 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.100j6806S" } } }
