Large Magnetoresistance and Finite-Size Effects in Electrodeposited Single-Crystal Bi Thin Films

Abstract
Trigonal-axis oriented single-crystal Bi thin films have been made by electrodeposition followed by suitable annealing. Very large magnetoresistance with ratios as much as 1500 at 5 K and 2.9 at 300 K under 5 T, Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations, and finite-size effects have been observed.
