Weak localization in p-type heterostructures in the presence of parallel magnetic field
Abstract
Theory of weak localization is developed for two-dimensional holes in the presence of in-plane magnetic field. The Zeeman splitting even in the hole momentum results in the spin-dependent phase changing the quantum interference. The negative correction to the conductivity is shown to decrease by a factor of two by the in-plane magnetic field. The positive magnetoconductivity in a classically weak perpendicular field caused by the weak localization is calculated for both quadratic and quartic in momentum Zeeman hole splittings. Calculations show that the conductivity corrections are very close to each other in these two cases of low and high hole density.
