The longitudinal magnetoresistance (MR) is assumed to be hardly realized as the Lorentz force does not work on electrons when the magnetic field is parallel to the current. However, in some cases, longitudinal MR becomes large, which exceeds the transverse MR. To solve this problem, we have investigated the longitudinal MR considering multivalley contributions based on the classical MR theory. We have showed that the large longitudinal MR is caused by off-diagonal components of a mobility tensor. Our theoretical results agree with the experiments of large longitudinal MR in IV-VI semiconductors, especially in PbTe, for a wide range of temperatures, except for linear MR at low temperatures.

When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

The force exerted by the magnetic field due to the first conductor over a finite length of the second conductor is given as the product of the current in the second conductor and the vector product of the length vector along the current element and the field due to the first conductor.

Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
