    Shifted Landau ladders and low field magneto-oscillations in high-mobility GaAs 2D hole systems
    (AIP Publishing, 2017) Zhang, Po; Wang, Jianli; Zhang, Chi; Du, Rui-Rui; Pfeiffer, L.N.; West, K.W.
    We present well-developed low-field magneto-resistance oscillations originating from zero-field spin splitting (ZFSS) of heavy holes in high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. This low field oscillation is 1/B-periodic and emerges before the onset of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations. The effect can be explained by resonant scattering between two Landau ladders shifted by the ZFSS gap, which in turn can be measured by comparing with the hole cyclotron energy. A front gate is fabricated to tune the ZFSS and hence the oscillation period.
