Nonlinear Zeeman Splitting of Holes in Doped GaAs Heterostructures

spin orientation. We observed a nonlinear behavior of valence-band g factor in strong magnetic fields. To explain obtained results, a detailed theoretical calculation was carried out based on the Luttinger model for valence-band states. We examined the spin splitting of hole levels under the influence of both external magnetic field and built-in electric field existing in doped heterostructures. Changes of hole g factor with the width of the structure and the density of two-dimensional carriers are discussed.
