We present transport measurements on evenly curved Hall bars integrated into InGaAs-microtubes. The method of self-rolling strained semiconductor double layers enables to build tubes with tuneable radii [1,2]. By the use of an optimized epitaxial layer design combined with a special lithographic procedure we are able to fabricate GaAs/InGaAs-microtubes containing a two-dimensional electron system (2-DES) in the tube walls. This opens up the possibility to perform transport measurements on evenly curved Hall bars with a strongly modulated magnetic field component perpendicular to the 2-DES plane. Transport measurements on such curved Hall bars with current direction along the curvature exhibit pronounced Shubnikow-de Haas oscillations which are found to be associated with the maximum perpendicular magnetic field component between the voltage contacts. Furthermore, we find a magnetic field inversion asymmetry depending on the perpendicular field component distribution along the curved Hall bar. For small magnetic fields we explain this asymmetry in classical terms using numerical simulations, for higher magnetic fields the Landauer Büttiker formalism is applied.
