Abstract

Magnetotransport in a two-dimensional two-component system consisting of electrons and holes with the same concentrations is studied. Balance equations to describe charge carrier and heat transfer are derived from the classical kinetic equation. The charge-carrier density and temperature distributions and electric-current densities are calculated by solving the balance equations for a long strip sample. In a sufficiently high magnetic field, regions of increased and decreased charge-carrier density, temperature, and fluxes are formed near the sample edges. This leads to nontrivial positive magnetoresistance.
