摘要
We report conduction electron g factors g(e) in strained layer InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells from time-resolved Larmor beats in reflection and cw Hanle luminescence depolarization. Samples had well widths from 3 to 20 nm and x = 0.11 +/- 0.02. The beat frequency gave \g(e)\ and nuclear Overhauser shift in the Hanle effect revealed its negative sign. The variation of g(e) with well width parallels that in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs wells indicating the dominance of nonparabolicity of the bulk conduction band sampled at different electron confinement energies, with important, but weaker, expected effects of strain, quantum-well anisotropy, and barrier penetration.
