“…The type of behaviour predicted in the preceding theoretical discussion has been confirmed in experiments with semiconductor films in strong magnetic fields [27]. Essentially, the idea was to create, in a homogeneous semiconductor, a stochastic distribution of current carriers n(r) by an illumination through a special masking film in which different sectors have different transparency.…”

Abstract. The effective conductivity σ eff of a magnetized plasma with random irregularities has been studied theoretically. The main aim of this research is to construct a general theory valid to unbounded (closed Hall circuit) as well as to bounded plasma systems (opened Hall circuit) with one kind of current carrier. Our results reveal essential differences in behaviour of σ eff in these cases.The behaviour σ eff following from the theoretical considerations has been confirmed in experiments on thin non-homogeneous plates of crystal p-Si in crossed electric and magnetic fields (from 0 to 15 kGs) placed in liquid He.In the case of an open Hall circuit, σ eff differs only slightly from the average σ in the whole range of the magnetic fields. In contrast, σ eff may be higher than σ for a closed Hall circuit when the magnetization parameter is greater than 10.

“…18 Nonuniform illumination of homogeneous semiconductors was used to create an inhomogeneous concentration of n(r) carriers and in that way to model transport processes in inhomogeneous materials. One of the possible ways is to illuminate a thin semiconductor plate through a special masking film in which different sectors have different transparency.…”

The method is based on the anomalous sensitivity of the effective electrical conductivity of semiconductors with weak random irregularities to an applied strong magnetic field. The primary advantage of this method is the possibility to control the sensitivity of measurements of small values of concentration of random weak inhomogeneities changing an external magnetic field. Preliminary results are presented here of experiments with Si:B thin layers at He temperatures under a broad range of magnetic fields ͑0-30 kOe͒. The experimentally determined measure of the sample inhomogeneity was found to be close to the theoretical predicted value.
