Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and by Monte Carlo simulation that the negative dips which occur at low magnetic fields on both sides of the main signal in nonlocal electron-beam measurements in semiconductor nanostructures result from electrons following classical rebound trajectories. We propose an alternative measurement geometry that eliminates these effects.Keywords
