Abstract

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the conductance and the magnetoresistance effect in a periodically magnetically modulated two-dimensional electron gas. It is shown that there exists a significant conductance difference for electrons through the parallel and antiparallel magnetization configurations, which leads to a considerable magnetoresistance effect. It is also shown that the conductance and the magnetoresistance effect depend on both the temperature and the number of the periodic magnetic barriers.
