The effective g-factor in In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum well investigated by magnetotransport measurement

2013 
The magneotransport properties of a high carrier concentration and high mobility 20-nm thick In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As quantum well (QW) are investigated by tilt angle dependent Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and by weak antilocalization (WAL) in an in-plane magnetic field. The effective g-factor g* and zero field spin splitting Δ0 are extracted from tilt angle dependent beating pattern. We found that g* shows a dramatic reduction with increasing carrier density due to the increased effective band gap. Furthermore, an anomalously rapid suppression of the WAL effect with increasing in-plane magnetic field B|| is observed. This reveals that the total dephasing rate is not solely contributed by Zeeman splitting. The microroughness scattering in the QW is proposed to be another factor to cause the dephasing and thus responsible for this effect.
