A perturbational approach is used to investigate the effect of a tilted magnetic field on the energy eigenvalues and the diffusivity‐mobility ratio (the Einstein relation) of the electrons in a quantum wire (a quasi‐one‐dimensional structure) of an n‐type wide‐gap semiconductor having a rectangular cross‐section. The results computed corresponding to the temperature 4.2 K are presented, taking degenerate n‐GaAs as an example.
