Weak localization and magnetoresistance in a two-leg ladder model

Abstract: We analyze the weak localization correction to the conductivity of a spinless two-leg ladder model in the limit of strong dephasing τ φ τtr, paying particular attention to the presence of a magnetic field, which leads to an unconventional magnetoresistance behavior. We find that the magnetic field leads to three different effects: (i) negative magnetoresistance due to the regular weak localization correction (ii) effective decoupling of the two chains, leading to positive magnetoresistance and (iii) oscillatio… Show more
