Linear magnetoresistance in two-dimensional disordered conductors — •Ferdinand Kisslinger1, Christian Ott1, Erik Kampert2, and Heiko B. Weber11Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Physik, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany. — 2Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany.

The recent observation of linear magnetoresistance (MR) in large-area bilayer graphene gives a key to the understanding of this old and barely understood phenomenon [1]. In bilayer graphene, it can be traced back to mosaic-like pattern of a partial dislocation network [2]. In this talk we discuss how linear MR evolves in disordered samples, using a two dimensional resistor network model conceptually introduced by Parish and Littlewood [3]. This model is in the weak disorder regime dominated by boundary effects. We identified a new regime representing the bulk situation in a disordered conductor. We investigated different possible sources of disorder: mobility, charge carrier density and network structure. The slope of the MR turned out to be simply governed by the Hall resistance and therefore by the inverse of the charge carrier density. An equivalent circuit model finally gives a consistent explanation as to why the magnetoresistance is linear in mosaic like samples.
