Nonlinear magnetoconductance of a classical ballistic system

Abstract

We study nonlinear transport through a classical ballistic system accounting for the Coulomb interaction between electrons. The joint effect of the applied bias $V$ and magnetic field $H$ on the electron trajectories results in a component of the non-linear current $I(V,H)$ which lacks the $H\to -H$ symmetry: $\delta I={\alpha }_{cl}{V}^{2}H$. At zero temperature the magnitude of ${\alpha }_{cl}$ is of the same order as that arising from the quantum interference mechanism. At higher temperatures the classical mechanism is expected to dominate due to its relatively weak temperature dependence.
