Abstract

The subband structure of a two-dimensional hole system at GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunctions and quantum wells is calculated in the self-consistent Hartree approximation. The subband dispersion is shown to be quite nonparabolic and anisotropic. The cyclotron effective mass is strongly dependent on the hole concentration. The spin splitting is extremely large due to the lack of inversion symmetry at single heterojunctions. Light-scattering spectra are calculated for quantum wells and the agreement with experiments is excellent for systems with low hole concentrations.
