Zeeman effect on acceptor centers and negative magnetoresistance in tellurium
Bir G.L., Krigel' V.G., Pikus G.E., Farbshtein I.I.
Experimental data are presented to show that the negative magnetoresistance in tellurium has no noticeable anisotropy and does not differ significantly from the negative magnetoresistance in other semiconductors. On the other hand, it is shown theoretically that the Zeeman splitting of acceptor states in tellurium is essentially anisotropic and is practically nonexistent at Η ' C3. Thus, the Toyozawa!s theory of negative magnetoresistance does not hold for tellurium.
