The amplitude is suppressed, accompanied by inversion of the phase, at the maximum bandwidth conditions at low magnetic fields. The suppression is gradually taken over by the enhancement with the increase of the magnetic fields. The suppression and the enhancement are attributable to the collisional and the diffusion contribution of the modulated potential to the conductivity, respectively, the former (the latter) being dominant at low (high) magnetic fields. A theoretical calculation that takes the two types of contributions into account shows semi-quantitative agreement with experimental traces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-05-03T14:13:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "shubnikov-de haas oscillation", "unidirectional lateral superlattices", "magnetic fields", "weak unidirectional periodic potential modulation", "maximum bandwidth conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of the Physical Society of Japan", "year": 2008, "month": "May", "volume": 77, "number": 5, "pages": 54709 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008JPSJ...77e4709E" } } }
