Abstract

In quasi two-dimensional electron and hole systems spin-orbit (SO) coupling strongly influences both the orbital and spin components of motion. In inversion asymmetric systems SO coupling causes a spin splitting even at magnetic field B = 0. Often this is analyzed by measuring the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations at B > 0. However, SO coupling can give rise to anomalous SdH oscillations that are not simply related to the B = 0 spin splitting. Coupling the anisotropic orbital motion to the spin degree of freedom results in an anisotropic Zeeman splitting even for different crystallographic directions of an in-plane magnetic field.
