Abstract

Classical longitudinal magnetoresistance of superlattices is calculated in the framework of a model which includes fluctuations of barrier conductivity. We found that the result depends very significantly on the fluctuations correlation length. We also found that fluctuations of the electron potential are not uniform along the superlattice, and depend on the superlattice length. A good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.
