摘要
We present magnetoconductance (MC) measurements of homogeneously disordered Be films (2e(2)/h)exp -(T-0/T)(1/2) The low field MC of the films is negative with G decreasing a factor of below T. In contrast the MC above T is strongly positive. Ar 8 T, G increases tenfold in perpendicular field and fivefold in parallel field. In the simpler parallel case, we observe field enhanced variable range hopping characterized by an attenuation of T-0 via the Zeeman interaction.
