Abstract :
We demonstrate that self-similar magnetoconductance fluctuations observed in semiconductor Sinai billiards originate from quantum interference processes associated with classical trajectories enclosing discrete areas. We identify the exact areal distributions and use a simple model to reproduce the self-similarity with remarkable accuracy
