摘要
A gated inverted In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As/Ln(0.52)Al(0.48)As quantum well is studied via magnetotransport. By analyzing the gate-voltage-dependent beating pattern observed in the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation, we determine the gate voltage (or electron concentration) dependence of the spin-orbit coupling parameter alpha. Our experimental data and its analysis show that the band nonparabolicity effect cannot be neglected. For electron concentrations above 2 x 10(12) cm(-2), it causes a reduction of alpha up to 25%. We report the alpha value for the second subband. [S0163-1829(99)09335-2].
