Abstract

We report a giant bowing of the spin-orbit splitting energy Delta0 in the dilute GaAs1-xBix alloy for Bi concentrations ranging from 0% to 1.8%. This is the first observation of a large relativistic correction to the host electronic band structure induced by just a few percent of isoelectronic doping in a semiconductor material. It opens up the possibility of tailoring the spin-orbit splitting in semiconductors for spintronic applications.
