The Lorentz gas system (LGS) is of fundamental scientific interest predicting omnipresent phenomena like the motion of pathogens in blood stream or the electron motion in porous media. In the present contribution two dimensional LGSs are realized by patterning Poission distributed obstacles of equal size and shape by electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching on a high electron mobility GaAs/Ga_xAl_1−xAs heterostructure [1]. Magneto-conductivity measurements are performed on samples with different obstacle densities. The as described system is implemented in numerical simulations using the Python package Kwant [2]. Experimental and simulated data are compared.
