Effect of electric field on the optical orientation of 2D electrons
Kalevich V. K., Korenev V. L.
In crystals with a linear in the momentum spin splitting of conduction bands the flow of current was found to be accompanied by the appearance of an effective magnetic field which affects the electron spin. This field was determined from the change in the optical orientation of the photo-excited carriers. The experimental study and the calculation were carried out for a heterostructure with isolated quantum wells.
