Several GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures of similar mobility have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The two-dimensional electron gases are located in single GaAs quantum wells. The samples were grown with the same layer sequence but under different growth conditions. Despite the similar mobility, we observed differences in the quantum Hall effect measurements. At small magnetic fields we found in all samples parabolic negative magnetoresistances. This is an indication for electron-electron interaction under influence of disorder. The curvatures of the parabolic magnetoresistance are different, as well as their temperature dependences. The parabolic magnetoresistance has been used as a tool to characterize the quality of the heterostructures.
