Abstract
Analysis of four-terminal magnetoresistance data (published recently) from single-crystal cylinders of potassium indicates that open orbits, created by a charge-density-wave structure, are present. Apparent negative resistance for some orientations of the magnetic field shows that large charge-density-wave Q domains can cause the current to follow a serpentine path having a reversed direction between the voltage contacts.Keywords
