Abstract
The cyclotron spin-wave mode of a two-dimensional electron system
have been investigated by inelastic
light scattering. It is observed at small electron filling factors, , when the electron system is spin-depolarized. As long as the
electron system becomes fully spin-polarized (ν > 0.2) the cyclotron
spin-wave disappears from the inelastic light scattering spectra. It reenters
at electron filling factors ν > 1. Over the range of electron filling
factors of 1 < ν < 2 the cyclotron spin-wave energy is insensitive to
both the experimentally accessible in-plane momenta and the electron
concentration, whereas its inelastic light scattering efficiency is strongly
influenced by the spin polarization of the electron system.
