摘要
Zeeman splitting of the ground state of single impurities in the quantum wells of resonant tunneling heterostructures is reported. We determine the absolute magnitude of the effective magnetic spin splitting factor g(perpendicular to)* for a single impurity in a 44 Angstrom Al0.27Ga0.73As/GaAs/Al0.27Ga0.73As quantum well to be 0.28 +/- 0.02. This system also allows for independent measurement of the electron tunneling rates through the two potential barriers and estimation of the occupation probability of the impurity state in the quantum well.
