Abstract

Arising from C. H. Wan, X. Z. Zhang, X. L. Gao, J. M. Wang & X. Y. Tan Nature 477, 304–307 (2011).10.1038/nature10375 Magnetoresistance exhibited by non-magnetic semiconductors has attracted much attention1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. In particular, Wan et al. reported room-temperature magnetoresistance in silicon to reach 10% at 0.07 T and 150,000% at 7 T—“an intrinsically spatial effect”12. Their supply voltage was approximately 10 V (ref. 12), which is low and approaches the industrial requirement14. However, we have found their large magnetoresistance values to be experimental artefacts caused by their method of measurement. The true room-temperature magnetoresistance of the devices described in ref. 12 is low with a magnetic field of up to 7 T and a supply voltage of around 10 V and hence these devices cannot offer large magnetoresistance with low supply voltage to industry.
