Description

Transverse magnetoresistance (MR) of semiconducting materials (HgCdSe, ZnS, ZnSe and GaP) is studied at a high pressure P, causing transitions to new structural modifications. MR grows in proportion to magnetic field B square in HgSe crystals in the region of a phase transition from cubic modification to hexagonal one. High mobility of conductivity electrons in this state is conditioned by inclusion of a source semimetallic phase. These inclusions are also responsible for metallic course of resistance temperature dependence. Similar data on MR are obtained for HgCdSe crystals. 13 refs., 3 figs
