Spin-orbital band splitting in symmetric quantum wells
Abstract
A spin-orbital splitting of the 2D spectrum of electrons and also of heavy and light holes in the GaAs quantum well caused by k3-terms in the bulk dispersion law is calculated. At realistic parameter values of the quantum wells it has the scale 10 -1-1 meV which is quite available for experimental observation.
