Phys. Rev. B 69, 033304 (2004) [4 pages]Linear in-plane magnetoconductance and spin susceptibility of a two-dimensional electron gas on a vicinal silicon surfaceReceived 29 January 2003; revised 10 July 2003; published 30 January 2004 In this work we have studied the parallel magnetoresistance of a two-dimensional electron gas near a vicinal silicon surface. An unusual, linear magnetoconductance is observed in the fields up to B=15T, which we explain by the effect of spin polarization on impurity scattering. This linear magnetoresistance shows strong anomalies near the boundaries of the minigap in the electron spectrum of the vicinal system. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
