Abstrakt: We have investigated the geometry-induced magnetoresistance (MR) observed in a high mobility AlGaAs/GaAs electron billiard device. Our billiard is shaped by a surface gate arrangement incorporating a `bridging interconnect' fabrication technique which allows independent control of the cavity's central circular antidot and evolution from a regular square to a nominally chaotic environment in a single device. The low field MR signature of the device displays a marked fractal form with MR structure on a magnetic field scale much finer than that previously reported for generically similar electron-wave billiards.
