Abstract
Transport properties of quasi-one-dimensional nondegenerate quantum wires formed on the surface of liquid helium in the presence of a normal magnetic field are studied using the momentum balance equation method and the memory function formalism. The interaction with both kinds of scatterers available (vapor atoms and capillary wave quanta) is considered. We show that unlike classical wires, quantum nondegenerate channels exhibit strong magnetoresistance which increases with lowering the temperature.
