We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that two-dimensional (2D) heavy-hole systems in single heterostructures exhibit a decrease in spin–orbit interaction-induced spin splitting with an increase in perpendicular electric field. Using front and back gates, we measure the spin splitting as a function of applied electric field while keeping the density constant. Our results are in contrast to the more familiar case of 2D electrons where spin splitting increases with electric field. ©2004 American Institute of Physics

  18. The slopes of the experimental and calculated curves are the important parameters for comparison. A reference point on the E[perpendicular] axis, which would allow a direct comparison of the measured and calculated results, is very hard to define because of uncertainties in the sample parameters.
