Abstract

The longitudinal conductivity ॣxx of the two-dimensional electron system on a liquid helium surface was measured as function of magnetic field for fields up to 4 Tesla. The temperature was in the range 1.4 < T > 2.0 K, so that scattering of electrons by vapour atoms is dominant. When the quantum limit is reached, which means that the Landau level separation\hbar३c is larger than the thermal energy kbT (\hbar३c/kbTࠄ4 under the present conditions), a deviation from the classical relation ॣxx蝤1/B2 is observed. A discussion is given based on a quantum transport theory.
