Abstract
In order to split the influence of the orbital and spin effects on the
inplane magnetoresistance of a quasi two-dimensional (2D) gas we derive its
linear response function and dielectric function for the case of anisotropic
effective mass. This result is used for the calculation of elastic transport
relaxation time of a quasi two dimensional system in a
parallel magnetic field. The relaxation time is proved
to be isotropic in the low density limit for the case of charged
impurity scattering, allowing to separate the two contributions.
