Signatures of Classical Chaos in Weak Localization in Antidot Arrays: Experiment and Theory — •O. Yevtushenko1,2, G. Lütjering2, D. Weiss2, and K.

We study theoretically and experimentally quantum (weak localization) corrections to the classical magneto-conductivity of a two-dimensional ballistic system with antidots placed both on a regular lattice and randomly. We compare experimental results for the flux- and temperature-dependence of the weak localization correction with different theoretical models. The experimental resistivity curves, which strongly deviate from those for diffusive systems, show a clear manifestation of the chaotic motion and correlations in the classical dynamics of electrons in the antidot landscape. The results support the significance of the Ehrenfest time as a relevant timescale for ballistic weak localization.
