摘要
We report an abnormal room-temperature magnetoresistance behavior in self-doped Ag2+deltaTe films with Ag doping concentration delta less than or equal to 0.25. Both positive magnetoresistance and negative magnetoresistance are found with the magnetic field applied along perpendicular to the sample surface and opposite direction, respectively. It is also evident from our study that such magnetoresistance (MR) behavior is strongly dependent on the doping concentration delta and the annealing time. The origin of the MR behavior is discussed and tentatively ascribed to the complex structure of the films, which is analyzed by x-ray measurement.
