Popis: Large longitudinal magnetoresistance (LMR) was observed in nonmagnetic silver telluride films. The magnitude of the LMR is not simply dependent on T and H, for example, multi-peaks of ρ at low field and low temperature appear in the Ag-Te film. Because both of -Δρ/ρ and a transition from -Δρ/ρ to +Δρ/ρ exist in Ag-Te films, the magnetoresistance (MR) behavior of the Ag-Te film does not like the bulk Ag-Te, but likes the doped semiconductors. About -27% of LMR was observed at low field in the Ag-Te films, while it could be negligible in the doped semiconductors. The MR behavior in Ag-Te films is discussed by means of a formation of impurity bands in the films.
