Abstract

We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance ρxx\rho_{xx} and ρxy\rho_{xy} in two samples of pp-Si/SiGe with low carrier concentrations pp=8.2×1010\times10^{10} cm2^{-2} and pp=2×1011\times10^{11} cm2^{-2}. The research was performed in the temperature range of 0.3-2 K and in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel or tilted with respect to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane. The large in-plane magnetoresistance can be explained by the influence of the \textit{in-plane} magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system. The measurements of ρxx\rho_{xx} and ρxy\rho_{xy} in the tilted magnetic field showed that the anomaly in ρxx\rho_{xx}, observed at filling factor ν\nu=3/2 is practically nonexistent in the conductivity σxx\sigma_{xx}. The anomaly in σxx\sigma_{xx} at ν\nu=2 might be explained by overlapping of the levels with different spins 0\uparrow and 1\downarrow when the tilt angle of the applied magnetic field is changed. The dependence of g-factor g(Θ)/g(00)g^*(\Theta)/g^*(0^0) on the tilt angle Θ\Theta was determined.
