HIGH-FIELD GALVANOMAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF COMPENSATED METALS UNDER ELECTRON-SURFACE AND INTERSHEET ELECTRON-PHONON SCATTERING (TUNGSTEN)

The field and temperature dependence of the transverse magnetoresistivity and the Hall coefficient for single-crystal tungsten with a resistivity ratio ρ293K/ρ4.2K varying from 780 to 80800 are measured at temperatures between 4.2 K and 50 K in magnetic fields up to 150 kOe. The role of the static skin effect and the temperature breakdown in the galvanomagnetic properties of the compensated metals is evaluated through experiments with tungsten. The experimental data shows that the galvanomagnetic properties of the compensated metals in the high magnetic fields are not dependent only on the Fermi surface geometry. A substantial role in their formation is played by the processes of the electron-surface and the intersheet electron-phonon scatterings. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
