Galvanomagnetic phenomena in layered organic conductors

The dependence of the resistance and the Hall field in organic metals with the quasi-two-dimensional electron energy spectrum on the magnetic field strength and orientation is analyzed in the strong field limit. The interplane resistance is shown to be strongly dependent on the of magnetic field orientation. When the angle θ between the field and the highly conducting plane is zero, the resistance increases linearly in a relatively wide field range. The angle dependence of magnetoresistance at small θ is nonmonotonic: it exhibits a local minimum and then a sharp peak around θ = 0. The Hall constant in strong magnetic field does not depend on the field orientation.
