Angular magnetoresistance oscillations in bilayers in tilted magnetic fields

Angular magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) were originally discovered in organic conductors and then found in many other layered metals. It should be possible to observe AMRO to semiconducting bilayers as well. Here we present an intuitive geometrical interpretation of AMRO as the Aharonov-Bohm interference effect, both in real and momentum spaces, for balanced and imbalanced bilayers. Applications to the experiments with bilayers in tilted magnetic fields in the metallic state are discussed. We speculate that AMRO may be also observed when each layer of the bilayer is in the composite-fermion state.

Interlayer Aharonov-Bohm interference in tilted magnetic fields in quasi-one-dimensional layered conductors

Different types of angular magnetoresistance oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional layered materials, such as organic conductors (TMTSF)2X, are explained in terms of Aharonov-Bohm interference in interlayer electron tunneling. A two-parameter pattern of oscillations for generic orientations of a magnetic field is visualized and compared with the experimental data. Connections with angular magnetoresistance oscillations in other layered materials are discussed.
