title: Tenfold magnetoconductance in a nonmagnetic metal film
abstract: We present magnetoconductance (MC) measurements of homogeneously disordered Be films whose zero field sheet conductance ( G) is described by the Efros-Shklovskii hopping law G(T) = (2e(2)/h)exp-(T0/T)(1/2). The low field MC of the films is negative with G decreasing a factor of 2 below 1 T. In contrast the MC above 1 T is strongly positive. At 8 T, G increases tenfold in perpendicular field and fivefold in parallel field. In the simpler parallel case, we observe field enhanced variable range hopping characterized by an attenuation of T0 via the Zeeman interaction.
