Abstract
The dependence on carrier concentration of the anisotropic spin splitting o f the lowest electron subband in asymmetrically doped GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quant um wells is determined. We employ the multiband envelope function approach based on 8X8 and 14X14 k.p Hamiltonians. Our self-consistent calculations y ield results in quantitative agreement with experimental data obtained from inelastic light scattering. [S0163-1829(98)04448-8].
