The effect of 1D periodic modulation on the transport and thermodynamic properties of a non-interacting two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is investigated. The Hamiltonian used also includes a tilted magnetic field, Rashba, and Dresselhauss spin-orbit interactions. The 1D periodic modulation introduces non-quantized regions on Hall conductivity and a non-zero diffusive conductivity. A method to estimate the modulation periodicity is given using the periodicity of Weiss oscillations on the diffusive conductivity.
