Abstract
We report a study of electron-electron (e-e) interaction effect on spin-gap in n-type narrow-gap quantum well (QW) heterostructures. By using the Hartree-Fock approximation (HFA) and generalized single-mode approximation (GSMA) based on the 8-band k·p Hamiltonian we demonstrate that spin-orbit interaction and the mixing between |S>- and |P>-states in the conduction and valence bands affect significantly many-body corrections to the spin-gap in symmetric and asymmetric QWs in the integer and fractional Quantum Hall regime. The spin-gap values estimated for 2D electron gas (2DEG) in InAs/AlSb QWs are compared with the experimental results obtained by magnetotransport and by electrically detected electron spin resonance (ESR).
