Abstract

The magnetic field dependence of the cyclotron mass of heavy holes in asymmetric GaAs(100) quantum wells is measured by optical detection of resonant microwave absorption for various concentrations of quasi-two-dimensional holes. The effect of spin-orbit splitting on the cyclotron masses of heavy holes is discovered and investigated. The energy spectrum of holes is calculated on the basis of experimental data. The energy range in which spin-plasmon oscillations are observed in hole systems with various concentrations is predicted.
