Resumen en inglés We have measured the Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) oscillations of a nonplanar two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) fabricated by overgrowth of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction on a pre-patterned substrate. When placed in a uniform external magnetic field B, the field normal to the nonplanar 2DEG is spatially modulated, and electrons experience a nonuniform magnetic field. In a tilted magnetic field, the SdH oscillations are much more strongly damped than in a field perpendicular to the substrate. We consider several mechanisms and conclude that the electron scattering by the magnetic field spatial uctuations plays a main role in the transport properties of a nonplanar 2DEG at low magnetic field
