An effect of magnetic field normal to the tunnel current on the amplitude and phase of the fine oscillatory structure, discovered in the resonance current-voltage curve in double-barrier AlAs/GaAs heterostructures, has been examined. All the obtained results are consistently explained in terms of the interference of ballistic electrons, escaped from the quantum well, in the collector part of the structure.
