Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We present results from a quantum and semiclassical theoretical study of the ρxy\rho_{xy} and ρxx\rho_{xx} resistivities of a high mobility 2-D electron gas in the presence of a dilute random distribution of tubes with magnetic flux Φ\Phi and radius RR, for arbitrary values of kfRk_f R and F=eΦ/hF=e\Phi/h. We report on novel Aharonov-Bohm type oscillations in ρxy\rho_{xy} and ρxx\rho_{xx}, related to degenerate quantum flux tube resonances, that satisfy the selection rule (kfR)2=4F(n+12){(k_fR)}^2=4F(n+{1\over 2}), with nn an integer. We discuss possible experimental conditions where these oscillations may be observed.
