Abstract
Extensions of the Seitz‐Pearson‐Suhl weak‐field magnetoresistance (WFMR) formula are applied to cubic and noncubic (001) ‐ and (111) ‐oriented epitaxial films and surface layers, including the extreme case of two‐dimensional conductivity in a quantized layer. It is shown that four distinct WFMR measurements may be made on samples in either plane, thus providing a simple and reliable means of distinguishing cubic from noncubic transport environments.Keywords
