Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Magnetotransport measurements are performed on an aluminum thin film grown on a GaAs substrate. A crossover from electron- to hole-dominant transport can be inferred from both longitudinal resistivity and Hall resistivity with increasing the perpendicular magnetic field <it>B</it>. Also, phenomena of localization effects can be seen at low <it>B</it>. By analyzing the zero-field resistivity as a function of temperature <it>T</it>, we show the importance of surface scattering in such a nanoscale film.</p> |
