Influence of Electron Density on Giant Negative Magnetoresistance — •Lina Bockhorn1, Christian Reichl2, Werner Wegscheider2, and Rolf J. Haug1 — 1Institut für Festkörperphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany — 2Laboratorium für Festkörperphysik, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electron gases often exhibit a remarkably robust negative magnetoresistance at zero magnetic field. Below 800 mK, this phenomenon divides into two distinct parts [1-4]: a temperature-independent narrow peak around B=0 T, arising from the interplay of smooth disorder and elastic scattering at macroscopic defects [2, 3], and a temperature-dependent giant negative magnetoresistance (GNMR) at higher magnetic fields. The theoretical understanding of the GNMR remains an open question, as it involves several independent parameters in addition to electron-electron interaction, possibly leading to hydrodynamic transport effects. To gain insights into the nature of GNMR, we investigate this effect as a function of electron density at various temperatures and currents. Our results show a significant dependence of GNMR on electron density [4], suggesting that variations in scattering potentials [5] are not considered appropriately in theoretical models.
