We report experimental evidence of ballistic hole transport in one-dimensional quantum wires gate-defined in a strained SiGe/Ge/SiGe quantum well. At zero magnetic field, we observe conductance plateaus at integer multiples of 2e^2/h. At finite magnetic field, the splitting of these plateaus by Zeeman effect reveals largely anisotropic g-factors, with absolute values below 1 in the quantum-well plane, and exceeding 10 out of plane. This g-factor anisotropy is consistent with a heavy-hole character of the propagating valence-band states, in line with a predominant confinement in the growth direction. Remarkably, we observe quantized ballistic conductance in device channels up to 600 nm long. These findings mark an important step towards the realization of novel devices for applications in quantum spintronics.

We study the Zeeman splitting in induced ballistic 1D quantum wires aligned along the [233] and [011] axes of a high mobility (311)A undoped heterostructure. Our data shows that the g-factor anisotropy for magnetic fields applied along the high symme try [011] direction can be explained by the 1D confinement only. However when the magnetic field is along [233] there is an interplay between the 1D confinement and 2D crystal anisotropy. This is highlighted for the [233] wire by an unusual non-monotonic behavior of the g-factor as the wire is made narrower.
Three-dimensional anisotropy of the Lande g-factor and its electrical modulation are studied for single uncapped InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). The g-factor is evaluated from measurement of inelastic cotunneling via Zeeman substates in the Q D for various magnetic field directions. We find that the value and anisotropy of the g-factor depends on the type of orbital state which arises from the three-dimensional confinement anisotropy of the QD potential. Furthermore, the g-factor and its anisotropy are electrically tuned by a side-gate which modulates the confining potential.
Dirac electrons in graphene are to lowest order spin 1/2 particles, owing to the orbital symmetries at the Fermi level. However, anisotropic corrections in the $g$-factor appear due to the intricate spin-valley-orbit coupling of chiral electrons. We resolve experimentally the $g$-factor along the three orthogonal directions in a large-scale graphene sample. We employ a Hall bar structure with an external magnetic field of arbitrary direction, and extract the effective $g$-tensor via resistively-detected electron spin resonance. We employ a theoretical perturbative approach to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic spin orbit coupling and obtain a fundamental parameter inherent to the atomic structure of $^{12}$C, commonly used in ab-initio models.
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.
We have fabricated and studied a ballistic one-dimensional p-type quantum wire using an undoped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. The absence of modulation doping eliminates remote ionized impurity scattering and allows high mobilities to be achieved over a wide range of hole densities, and in particular, at very low densities where carrier-carrier interactions are strongest. The device exhibits clear quantized conductance plateaus with highly stable gate characteristics. These devices provide opportunities for studying spin-orbit coupling and interaction effects in mesoscopic hole systems in the strong interaction regime where rs > 10.
