Transport properties of highly mobile 2D electrons are studied in symmetric GaAs quantum wells placed in titled magnetic fields. Quantum positive magnetoresistance (QPMR) is observed in magnetic fields perpendicular to the 2D layer. Application of in-plane magnetic field produces a dramatic decrease of the QPMR. This decrease correlates strongly with the reduction of the amplitude of Shubnikov de Haas resistance oscillations due to modification of the electron spectrum via enhanced Zeeman splitting. Surprisingly no quantization of the spectrum is detected when the Zeeman energy exceeds the half of the cyclotron energy suggesting an abrupt transformation of the electron dynamics. Observed angular evolution of QPMR implies strong mixing between spin subbands. Theoretical estimations indicate that in the presence of spin-orbital interaction the elastic impurity scattering provides significant contribution to the spin mixing in GaAs quantum wells at high filling factors.

We study the role of different orientations of an applied magnetic field as well as the interplay of structural asymmetries on the characteristics of eigenstates in a quantum ring system. We use a nearly analytical model description of the quantum ri
ng, which allows for a thorough study of elliptical deformations and their influence on the spin content and Berry phase of different quantum states. The diamagnetic shift and Zeeman interaction compete with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, induced by confinement asymmetries and external electric fields, to change spin textures of the different states. Smooth variations in the Berry phase are observed for symmetric quantum rings as function of applied magnetic fields. Interestingly, we find that asymmetries induce nontrivial Berry phases, suggesting that defects in realistic structures would facilitate the observation of geometric phases.
The magnetotransport of highly mobile 2D electrons in wide GaAs single quantum wells with three populated subbands placed in titled magnetic fields is studied. The bottoms of the lower two subbands have nearly the same energy while the bottom of the
third subband has a much higher energy ($E_1approx E_2<<E_3$). At zero in-plane magnetic fields magneto-intersubband oscillations (MISO) between the $i^{th}$ and $j^{th}$ subbands are observed and obey the relation $Delta_{ij}=E_j-E_i=kcdothbaromega_c$, where $omega_c$ is the cyclotron frequency and $k$ is an integer. An application of in-plane magnetic field produces dramatic changes in MISO and the corresponding electron spectrum. Three regimes are identified. At $hbaromega_c ll Delta_{12}$ the in-plane magnetic field increases considerably the gap $Delta_{12}$, which is consistent with the semi-classical regime of electron propagation. In contrast at strong magnetic fields $hbaromega_c gg Delta_{12}$ relatively weak oscillating variations of the electron spectrum with the in-plane magnetic field are observed. At $hbaromega_c approx Delta_{12}$ the electron spectrum undergoes a transition between these two regimes through magnetic breakdown. In this transition regime MISO with odd quantum number $k$ terminate, while MISO corresponding to even $k$ evolve $continuously$ into the high field regime corresponding to $hbaromega_c gg Delta_{12}$
We investigate the double-layer electron system in a parabolic quantum well at filling factor $ u=2$ in a tilted magnetic field using capacitance spectroscopy. The competition between two ground states is found at the Zeeman splitting appreciably sma
ller than the symmetric-antisymmetric splitting. Although at the transition point the system breaks up into domains of the two competing states, the activation energy turns out to be finite, signaling the occurrence of a new insulator-insulator quantum phase transition. We interpret the obtained results in terms of a predicted canted antiferromagnetic phase.
Oscillations of the real component of AC conductivity $sigma_1$ in a magnetic field were measured in the n-AlGaAs/GaAs structure with a wide (75 nm) quantum well by contactless acoustic methods at $T$=(20-500)~mK. In a wide quantum well, the electron
ic band structure is associated with the two-subband electron spectrum, namely the symmetric (S) and antisymmetric (AS) subbands formed due to electrostatic repulsion of electrons. A change of the oscillations amplitude in tilted magnetic field observed in the experiments occurs due to crossings of Landau levels of different subbands (S and AS) at the Fermi level. The theory developed in this work shows that these crossings are caused by the difference in the cyclotron energies in the S and AS subbands induced by the in-plane magnetic field.
We have investigated experimentally the magnetoresistance of strongly asymmetric double-wells. The structures were prepared by inserting a thin Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As barrier into the GaAs buffer layer of a standard modulation-doped GaAs/Al$_{0.3}$Ga
$_{0.7}$As heterostructure. The resulting double-well system consists of a nearly rectangular well and of a triangular well coupled by tunneling through the thin barrier. With a proper choice of the barrier parameters one can control the occupancy of the two wells and of the two lowest (bonding and antibonding) subbands. The electron properties can be further influenced by applying front- or back-gate voltage.
