✦ Synopsis

Strong enhancement in the zero-magnetic-field resistivity, followed by negative magnetoresistance, has been observed for twodimensional electron gases by introducing weak quasiperiodic (Fibonacci) potential modulation having a length scale close to the Fermi wavelength. The extra resistivity increases with decreasing length scale notwithstanding the concomitant decrease in the modulation amplitude, and also with decreasing temperature and increasing electron concentration. The enhancement is qualitatively explained by backscattering due to Bragg reflections from the quasiperiodic superlattices characterized by a dense set of reciprocal lattice vectors.

We report anisotropic transport observed in unidirectional lateral superlattices (LSL) with period a = 92 nm, at high (6 ¿ N ¿ 1) Landau levels (LLs). Near the half-ÿlling of the LLs (up to ÿlling factor = 25 2 ), sharp peaks are observed in the resistance traces when current is along the grating t
