Abstract

Discusses the effect of a magnetic field on the weak localisation of a two-dimensional electron gas. It is shown that due to quantum corrections the electron-electron relaxation time tau _ee varies with electron temperature T and tau _ee^-1=A₁T+A ₂T², in the temperature range 3K-0.1K. This short tau _ee causes a rapid transition between states which are weakly localised and so reduces the logarithmic correction to the conductance. Negative magnetoresistance measurements are reported for (100) silicon MOSFETs in the temperature range 0.1-4K.
