We observe an inversion of the low temperature dependence for the conductivity of doped GaAs by application of a magnetic field. This inversion happens when Wct = 1, as predicted by Houghton (PRB25, 2196, 1982) for the correction to…
Electron-electron interactions are responsible for a correction to the conductance of a diffusive metal, the "Altshuler-Aronov correction" $\delta G_{AA}$. Here we study the counterpart of this correction for a ballistic conductor, in which…
