Abstract
In two-dimensional hole systems, the Rashba spin-orbit interaction leads to a spin dependent momentum. A perpendicular magnetic field spatially separates holes with different spins, creating a mass spectrometer for spin. Spin-resolved magnetic focussing has been used to measure spin polarization from the amplitude of magnetic focussing peaks. In this work, the authors show that the ${k}^{3}$ form of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction term for semiconductor holes changes the scattering rate, which has an exponential effect on the focussing peak amplitude. This result further demonstrates the impact of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the field of semiconductor hole spin physics.
