The response of semiconductor materials to external magnetic fields is a reliable approach to probe intrinsic electronic and spin-dependent properties. In this study, we investigate the common Zeeman splitting features of novel wurtzite materials, namely InP, InAs, and GaAs. We present values for the effective g-factors of different energy bands and show that spin-orbit coupling effects, responsible for the spin splittings, also have noticeable contributions to the g-factors. Within the Landau level picture, we show that the nonlinear Zeeman splitting recently explained in magneto photoluminescence experiments for InP nanowires by Tedeschi et al. [Phys. Rev. B 99, 161204 (2019)] are also present in InAs, GaAs and even in the conventional GaN. Such nonlinear features stem from the peculiar coupling of the A and B valence bands, as a consequence of the interplay between the wurtzite crystal symmetry and the breaking of time-reversal symmetry by the external magnetic field. Moreover, we develop an analytical model to describe the experimental nonlinear Zeeman splitting and apply it to InP and GaAs data. Extrapolating our fitted results, we found that the Zeeman splitting of InP reaches a maximum value, which is a prediction that could be probed at higher magnetic fields.

In this study, we present a complete experimental and theoretical investigation of the fundamental exciton Zeeman splitting in wurtzite InP nanowires. We determined the exciton gyromagnetic factor, $g_{exc}$, by magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy
using magnetic fields up to 29 T. We found that $g_{exc}$ is strongly anisotropic with values differing in excess of 50% between the magnetic field oriented parallel and perpendicular to the nanowire long axis. Furthermore, for magnetic fields oriented along the nanowire axis, $g_{exc}$ is nearly three times larger than in bulk zincblende InP and it shows a marked sublinear dependence on the magnetic field, a common feature to other non-nitride III-V wurtzite nanowires but not properly understood. Remarkably, this nonlinearity originates from only one Zeeman branch characterized by a specific type of light polarization. All the experimental findings are modeled theoretically by a robust approach combining the $k cdot p$ method with the envelope function approximation and including the electron-hole interaction. We revealed that the nonlinear features arise due to the coupling between Landau levels pertaining to the A (heavy-hole like) and B (light-hole like) valence bands of the wurtzite crystal structure. This general behavior is particularly relevant for the understanding of the spin properties of several wurtzite nanowires that host the set for the observation of topological phases potentially at the base of quantum computing platforms.
The corrections to the $E_2^*$ energy level of hydrogenic impurities in semiconductors with wurtzite crystal structure are calculated using first-order perturbation theory in the envelope-function approximation. We consider the intrinsic (Dresselhaus
) spin-orbit effective Hamiltonian in the conduction band and compare its effects to the renormalized extrinsic (Rashba) spin-orbit interaction which is analogous to the spin-orbit interaction in the bare hydrogen atom. In order to evaluate the extrinsic spin-orbit interaction we obtain the renormalized coupling constant $lambda^*$ for wurtzite semiconductors from 8-band Kane theory. We apply our theory to four representative binary semiconductors with wurtzite crystal structure, namely, GaN, ZnO, InN and AlN, and discuss the relative strength of the effects of the intrinsic and extrinsic spin-orbit contributions.
Millikelvin magnetotransport studies are carried out on heavily $n$-doped wurtzite GaN:Si films grown on semi-insulating GaN:Mn buffer layers by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The dependency of the conductivity on magnetic field and temperature i
s interpreted in terms of theories that take into account disorder-induced quantum interference of one-electron and many-electron self-crossing trajectories. The Rashba parameter $alpha_{text{R}},=,(4.5 pm 1)$ meV$AA$ is determined, and it is shown that in the previous studies of electrons adjacent to GaN/(Al,Ga)N interfaces, bulk inversion asymmetry was dominant over structural inversion asymmetry. The comparison of experimental and theoretical values of $alpha_{text{R}}$ across a series of wurtzite semiconductors is presented as a test of current relativistic ab initio computation schemes. It is found that electron-electron scattering with small energy transfer accounts for low temperature decoherence in these systems.
We investigate systematically how the interplay between Rashba spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman coupling affects the electron transport and the spin dynamics in InGaAs-based 2D electron gases. From the quantitative analysis of the magnetoconductance
, measured in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field, we conclude that this interplay results in a spin-induced breaking of time reversal symmetry and in an enhancement of the spin relaxation time. Both effects, due to a partial alignment of the electron spin along the applied magnetic field, are found to be in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
The ratio of the Zeeman splitting to the cyclotron energy ($M=Delta E_Z / hbar omega_c$), which characterizes the relative strength of the spin-orbit interaction in crystals, is examined for the narrow gap IV-VI semiconductors PbTe, SnTe, and their a
lloy Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Te on the basis of the multiband $kcdot p$ theory. The inverse mass $alpha$, the g-factor $g$, and $M$ are calculated numerically by employing the relativistic empirical tight-binding band calculation. On the other hand, a simple but exact formula of $M$ is obtained for the six-band model based on the group theoretical analysis. It is shown that $M<1$ for PbTe and $M>1$ for SnTe, which are interpreted in terms of the relevance of the interband couplings due to the crystalline spin-orbit interaction. It is clarified both analytically and numerically that $M=1$ just at the band inversion point, where the transition from trivial to nontrivial topological crystalline insulator occurs. By using this property, one can detect the transition point only with the bulk measurements. It is also proposed that $M$ is useful to evaluate quantitatively a degree of the Dirac electrons in solids.
