Abstract
We present a simple model based on the classic Shockley model to explain the magnetotransport in nonmagnetic p–n junctions. Under a magnetic field, the evaluation of the carrier to compensate Lorentz force establishes the necessary space-charge region distribution. The calculated current–voltage (I–V) characteristics under various magnetic fields demonstrate that the conventional nonmagnetic p–n junction can exhibit an extremely large magnetoresistance effect, which is even larger than that in magnetic materials. Because the large magnetoresistance effect that we discussed is based on the conventional p–n junction device, our model provides new insight into the development of semiconductor magnetoelectronics.
