The electrical conductivity due to tunneling of electrons between narrow localized states called transfer states is discussed. It is shown that owing to spin–orbit coupling the magnetic field influences the transition probabilities between the transfer states. A formula for the magnetoconductivity is given and compared with experimental data obtained for an “anomalous” magnetoconductivity in boron.
