Abstract

In first stage graphite intercalation compounds with cylindrical Fermi surfaces and isotropic relaxation times, no magnetoresistance occurs. Holzwarth pointed out that trigonal band warping provides a finite magnetoresistance in first stage compounds. A calculation of the galvanomagnetic coefficients of stage-2 acceptor compounds is performed including the effect of trigonal warping on the bands. In the present problem a perturbation calculation provides a good approximation. Without trigonal warping, the stage-2 compounds exhibit a finite magnetoresistance since they have two kinds of holes. Retaining terms up to order (γ3/γ0)2, the weak field magnetoresistance is calculated in limit H→0; Δρ/ρoH2 ≍ (e/h2c)2 (τ/EF)2 (3γ0b/2)4[1/4(γ1/EF)2+57/2(γ3/γ0)2] where b = 1.42 Å is the nearest C-C distance, EF the Fermi energy and τ the carrier relaxation time. The first term in curly brackets is due to the existence of the two kinds of holes. This formula indicates that the term due to trigonal warping is much larger than the other term.
