The resistance in an asymmetric double-well structure was measured as a function of magnetic fields oriented almost parallel to the plane of the electron layer. It was shown that the shape of the magnetoresistance curves is close to the in-plane magnetic-field-dependent density of states which we obtained by self-consistent numerical calculation. The novel feature is the negative magnetoresistance observed at low magnetic fields.
An anomaly of the in-plane conductivity is observed in the superlattices PbTe/SnTe on (001)KCl in the temperature region of 60-130 K. The anomaly is caused by a structural phase transition in SnTe layer and as a result, the transition induced formation of defects. These defects are additional scattering centres which decrease the superlattice conductivity.
