Abstract

The longitudinal magnetoresistance of $n$-type germanium is calculated for high magnetic fields where Landau levels are important. The scattering mechanisms considered are acoustic and ionized impurity scattering. Comparison is made with experiment for acoustic scattering and is found to be satisfactory for sufficiently high fields.
