The usual logarithmic temperature dependencies for zero magnetic field conductivity due to the weak localization (WL) and electron- electron interaction (EEI) effects take place in both samples. For one of the samples the negative MR is observed in a whole range of magnetic fields up to ~1T at T <=12K, but for the other sample the MR transforms from the negative to positive at B >= 0.2T and T >=1.3K. We attribute such a behavior to the interplay of two types of holes due to partial filling of the second subband. Extrapolation of the observed high-field parabolic MR to B = 0 allows to separate WL and EEI contributions to the total quantum corrections to conductivity at B = 0 resulting for both of our structures in that EEI part is ~2/3 and the WL part is ~1/3.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-12-27T07:04:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electron-electron interaction effects", "heterostructures", "magnetoresistance", "localization", "usual logarithmic temperature dependencies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
