Quasiclassical negative magnetoresistance of a 2D electron gas: interplay of strong scatterers and smooth disorder

Abstract

We study the quasiclassical magnetotransport of non-interacting fermions in two dimensions moving in a random array of strong scatterers (antidots, impurities or defects) on the background of a smooth random potential. We demonstrate that the combination of the two types of disorder induces a novel mechanism leading to a strong negative magnetoresistance, followed by the saturation of the magnetoresistivity ${\rho }_{xx}(B)$ at a value determined solely by the smooth disorder. Experimental relevance to the transport in semiconductor heterostructures is discussed.
