We report experimental studies of conductance and magnetoconductance of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures where both wells and barriers are doped by acceptor impurity Be. Temperature dependence of conductance demonstrate a non-monotonic behavior at temperatures around 100 K. At small temperatures (less than 10 K) we observed strong negative magnetoresistance at moderate magnetic field which crossed over to positive magnetoresistance at very strong magnetic fields and was completely suppressed with an increase of temperature. We ascribe these unusual features to effects of temperature and magnetic field on a degree of disorder. The temperature dependent disorder is related to charge redistribution between different localized states with an increase of temperature. The magnetic field dependent disorder is also related by charge redistribution between different centers, however in this case an important role is played by the doubly occupied states of the upper Hubbard band, their occupation being sensitive to magnetic field due to on-site spin correlations. The detailed theoretical model is present.
