There exists a myriad of quantum transport phenomena in highly mobile 2D electrons placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. We study the effects of tilted magnetic field on these transport properties to understand how the energy spectrum evolves. We observe significant changes of the electron transport in quantum wells of varying widths with high electron densities at high filling factors. In narrow quantum wells the spin splitting of Landau levels due to Zeeman effect is found to be the dominant mechanism reducing Quantum Positive Magnetoresistance. In wider quantum wells with two populated subbands Magnetointersubband oscillations appear to exhibit effects from …
