Despite the fact that the problem of interference mechanism of magnetoresistance in semiconductors with hopping conductivity was widely discussed, most of existing studies were focused on the model of spinless electrons. This model can be justified only when all electron spins are frozen. However there is always an admixture of free spins in the semiconductor. This study presents the theory of interference contribution to magnetoresistance that explicitly includes effects of both frozen and free electron spins. We consider the cases of small and large number of scatterers in the hopping event. For the case of large number of scatterers the approach is used that takes into account the dispersion of the scatterer energies. We compare our results with existing experimental data.
