  1. Magnetoresistance • Linear-MR • Xu et al., Nature 390, 57 ’97 • The LMR is a classical effect associated with macroscopic non-homogeneities. Its strength scales with the electron mobility. • Negative-MR • Ashuler et al., PRB 22, 5142 ’80 • The NMR is a quantum effect due to weak-localization. The minimum of the MR occurs when the magnetic length (e/hB)1/2 becomes equal to 2lj, where lj ~ 100nm is the electron coherence length. InAs1-xNx T=2K Patanè et al. PRB 80 115207 ’09

The energy of the N-level (EN~ 0.2eV) is smaller than the threshold energy for impact ionization (~ Eg-G).
