Abstract

The effective g-factor and the selection rules for the matrix elements of the velocity operator are investigated for the Luttinger Hamiltonian under a magnetic field. It is shown that the g-factor has a strong kz-dependence, where kz is the wave vector along the magnetic field. This anomalous kz-dependence is due to the interband effect of the magnetic field between the light and heavy hole bands. It is found that a nontrivial contribution to the longitudinal magnetoconductivity arises also due to the interband effects by analyzing the selection rules. This nontrivial interband contribution can be a source of the longitudinal spin current.
