Abstract
Magneto-conductance uctuations serve as the traditional method for investigating the dynamics of electrons as they ow throughsolid-state materials. Generated by electron wave interference, their spectral content is critically sensitive to the precise scattering con-gurations in the material. In this paper, we exploit this sensitivity to study the electron dynamics in the diusive regime of semiconduc-tors where the dynamics are determined by material-induced scattering. We show that the spectral content of the uctuations measuredon diusive n+GaAs wires and quasi-ballistic AlGaAs/GaAs wires follow a fractal scaling behaviour similar to that previously observed.
