We investigate effects of lateral confinement on spin splitting of energy levels in 2D hole gases grown on [311] GaAs. We found that lateral confinement enhances anisotropy of spin splitting relative to the 2D gas for both confining directions. Unexpectedly, the effective $g$-factor does not depend on the 1D energy level number $N$ for $B|[0bar{1}1]$ while it has strong $N$-dependence for $B|[bar{2}33]$. Apart from quantitative difference in the spin splitting of energy levels for the two orthogonal confinement directions we also report qualitative differences in the appearance of spin-split plateaus, with non-quantized plateaus observed only for the confinement in $[0bar{1}1]$ direction. In our samples we can clearly associate the difference with anisotropy of spin-orbit interactions.

The effective g-factor of 2D holes in modulation doped mbox{p-SiGe/Ge/SiGe} structures was studied. The AC conductivity of samples with hole densities from $3.9 times 10^{11}$~to $6.2 times 10^{11}~text{cm}^{-2}$ was measured in perpendicular magneti c fields up to $8~text{T}$ using a contactless acoustic method. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of conductivity oscillations, the $mathrm{g}_{perp}$-factor of each sample was determined. The $mathrm{g}_{perp}$-factor was found to be decreasing approximately linearly with hole density. This effect is attributed to non-parabolicity of the valence band.
Recently, lithographic quantum dots in strained-Ge/SiGe have become a promising candidate for quantum computation, with a remarkably quick progression from demonstration of a quantum dot to qubit logic demonstrations. Here we present a measurement of the out-of-plane $g$-factor for single-hole quantum dots in this material. As this is a single-hole measurement, this is the first experimental result that avoids the strong orbital effects present in the out-of-plane configuration. In addition to verifying the expected $g$-factor anisotropy between in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic ($B$)-fields, variations in the $g$-factor dependent on the occupation of the quantum dot are observed. These results are in good agreement with calculations of the $g$-factor using the heavy- and light-hole spaces of the Luttinger Hamiltonian, especially the first two holes, showing a strong spin-orbit coupling and suggesting dramatic $g$-factor tunability through both the $B$-field and the charge state.

Due to its p-like character, the valence band in GaAs-based heterostructures offers rich and complex spin-dependent phenomena. One manifestation is the large anisotropy of Zeeman spin splitting. Using undoped, coupled quantum wells (QWs), we examine this anisotropy by comparing the hole spin dynamics for high- and low-symmetry crystallographic orientations of the QWs. We directly measure the hole $g$ factor via time-resolved Kerr rotation, and for the low-symmetry crystallographic orientations (110) and (113a), we observe a large in-plane anisotropy of the hole $g$ factor, in good agreement with our theoretical calculations. Using resonant spin amplification, we also observe an anisotropy of the hole spin dephasing in the (110)-grown structure, indicating that crystal symmetry may be used to control hole spin dynamics.
Zeeman splitting of 1D hole subbands is investigated in quantum point contacts (QPCs) fabricated on a (311) oriented GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure. Transport measurements can determine the magnitude of the g-factor, but cannot usually determine the sig n. Here we use a combination of tilted fields and a unique off-diagonal element in the hole g-tensor to directly detect the sign of g*. We are able to tune not only the magnitude, but also the sign of the g-factor by electrical means, which is of interest for spintronics applications. Furthermore, we show theoretically that the resulting behavior of g* can be explained by the momentum dependence of the spin-orbit interaction.
We report measurements of the effective $g$ factor of low-density two-dimensional holes in a Ge quantum well. Using the temperature dependence of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, we extract the effective $g$ factor in a magnetic field perpendicula r to the sample surface. Very large values of the effective $g$ factor, ranging from $sim13$ to $sim28$, are observed in the density range of $1.4times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ to $1.4times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. When the magnetic field is oriented parallel to the sample surface, the effective $g$ factor is obtained from a protrusion in the magneto-resistance data that signifies full spin polarization. In the latter orientation, a small effective $g$ factor, $sim1.3-1.4$, is measured in the density range of $1.5times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ to $2times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$. This very strong anisotropy is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous measurements in other 2D hole systems, such as InGaAs and GaSb.
