Abstract
Numerical calculation for temperature dependence of galvanomagnetic properties of thin bismuth films is pursued. The quasi-two dimensional system is treated in the perturbation formalism of previous study, where realistic screened potential due to impurity is assumed to be the only scattering channel. The potential is separated into pure two dimensional part and the remaining presumed perturbation part. Relaxation time and mobilities for both electron and hole are evaluated, then temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient and magnetoresistance is obtained. The broad minimum of magnetoresistnace is manifested, and the interpretation under the kinetic theory is made. Thickness dependence of the quantities are also shown, which are in good agreement with the expected quantum size effect.
