摘要
Anomalous positive magnetoresistance (MR) up to 36% was observed at 2 K and 12 Tin the undoped amorphous carbon (a-C) film deposited on glass substrate by pulsed laser deposition at 500 degrees C. There is no tendency of saturation of MR with increase of the magnetic field. The MR decreases as the measurement temperature increases from 2 to 80 K, and could hardly be observed above 80 K. As the deposition temperature grows from 300 to 600 C, the disorder degree of the a-C film decreases, and the value of MR also decreases, indicating that the lower disorder degree results in a smaller MR. The mechanism of this MR could be ascribed to the wave function shrinkage. It could help to understand the MR phenomenon in amorphous material systems. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
