Abstracts

EN

In this paper we show that intersubband scattering can lead to apparent inconsistency of the experimental results obtained by means of classical and quantum transport measurements and this discrepancy is entirely connected with the usage of classical formulae to describe magnetic field dependence of a conductivity tensor. We prove that there is no contradiction in our observations and that the models describing quantum oscillations and magnetic-field dependence of the conductivity tensor, which are present in the literature, complement each other.
