Abstract
The transverse magnetoresistance of 5‐Ω·cm n‐type germanium at different magnetic fields for an electric field applied in the 〈111〉 direction up to 5 kV/cm has been measured. It has been found that (i) magnetoresistance at a particular electric field decreases with increase of magnetic fields, (ii) at small magnetic fields magnetoresistance decreases with increase of electric field, and (iii) the ratio of the square root of magnetoresistance and the conductivity mobility is independent of electric fields up to 5 kV/cm.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
