Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4492–4495 (1998)Incoherent Interlayer Transport and Angular-Dependent Magnetoresistance Oscillations in Layered MetalsReceived 10 June 1998; published in the issue dated 16 November 1998 The effect of incoherent interlayer transport on the interlayer resistance of a layered metal is considered. We find that for both quasi-one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional Fermi liquids the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance is essentially the same for coherent and incoherent transport. Consequently, the existence of a three-dimensional Fermi surface is not necessary to explain the oscillations in the magnetoresistance that are seen in many organic conductors as the field direction is varied. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
