Abstrakt: Precise magnetoresistance measurements on microstructures of photolithographically patterned PbSe epilayers have been performed in the magnetic field range up to 17 T. Unusual, reproducible magnetoconductance fluctuations have been observed. The fluctuation amplitude is about one order of magnitude greater than that predicted for universal conductance fluctuations. Moreover, the fluctuation frequency spectra correspond to the Aharonov-Bohm effect on electron trajectories up to 50 times smaller than the electron mean free path. This strongly points to the ballistic, not diffusive, origin of the observed phenomenon.
