摘要:

双组分导体--例如,半金属和窄带半导体通常在宽的温度范围内表现出异常强的磁阻。在这种系统中,电荷中性附近的霍尔电压的抑制引起在垂直于电流和磁场的方向上的强准粒子漂移。即使在弱磁场中,这种漂移也会导致电阻的强几何增加。结合玻尔兹曼动力学方程与样品静电,我们开发了一个微观理论的磁输运在二维和三维空间。受限几何条件下的补偿霍尔效应总是伴随着样品边缘附近和大尺度不均匀性处的电子-空穴复合。因此,经典的边缘电流可能会主导电荷补偿附近的电阻。该效应导致在宽的参数范围内的二维线性磁阻。在三维空间中,磁阻在磁场中通常是二次的,线性区域仅限于磁场方向垂直于样品表面的矩形样品。最后,我们讨论了热流和温度不均匀性对磁电阻的影响。

英文摘要:

Two-component conductors -- e.g., semi-metals and narrow band semiconductors -- often exhibit unusually strong magnetoresistance in a wide temperature range. Suppression of the Hall voltage near charge neutrality in such systems gives rise to a strong quasiparticle drift in the direction perpendicular to the electric current and magnetic field. This drift is responsible for a strong geometrical increase of resistance even in weak magnetic fields. Combining the Boltzmann kinetic equation with sample electrostatics, we develop a microscopic theory of magnetotransport in two and three spatial dimensions. The compensated Hall effect in confined geometry is always accompanied by electron-hole recombination near the sample edges and at large-scale inhomogeneities. As the result, classical edge currents may dominate the resistance in the vicinity of charge compensation. The effect leads to linear magnetoresistance in two dimensions in a broad range of parameters. In three dimensions, the magnetoresistance is normally quadratic in the field, with the linear regime restricted to rectangular samples with magnetic field directed perpendicular to the sample surface. Finally, we discuss the effects of heat flow and temperature inhomogeneities on the magnetoresistance.
