At low magnetic fields, we find for the first time a negative magnetoresistance proportional to |B|. This unexpected behavior is shown to be due to a memory effect specific for backscattering events, which was not considered previously. %G English %L hal-00176763 %U https://hal.science/hal-00176763 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LCVN %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
