The functional form of the in-plane magnetoresistance is shown to be intimately related to the spin polarization. Moreover, for three different 2D systems, namely GaAs (100) electrons, GaAs (311)A holes, and AlAs (411)B electrons, the temperature dependence of the in-plane magnetoresistance reveals that their behavior turns from metallic to insulating before they are fully spin polarized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-11T18:56:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin polarization", "2d systems", "insulating behavior", "in-plane magnetoresistance", "transition" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
