Abstract

A theory of recently discovered anomalous low-field magnetoresistance is developed for the system of two-dimensional electrons scattered by hard disks of radius a,a, randomly distributed with concentration n.n. For small magnetic fields the magentoresistance is found to be parabolic and inversely proportional to the gas parameter, δρxx/ρ(ωcτ)2/na2. \delta \rho_{xx}/\rho \sim - (\omega_c \tau)^2 / n a^2. With increasing field the magnetoresistance becomes linear δρxx/ρωcτ\delta \rho_{xx}/\rho \sim - \omega_c \tau in a good agreement with the experiment and numerical simulations.
