This is shown by first numerically solving the model Hamiltonian including the linear Rashba- and Dresselhaus SOI and the Zeeman term in an in particular doubly tilted magnetic field and second evaluating the intrinsically anisotropic magnetization for different directions of the in-plane magnetic field component. The amplitude of specific magnetic quantum oscillations in M(B) is found to be a direct measure of the SOI strength at fields B where SOI-induced Landau level anticrossings occur. The anisotropic M allows one to quantify the magnitude of both contributions as well as their relative sign. We use realistic sample parameters and show that recently reported experimental techniques provide a sensitivity which allows for the detection of the predicted phenomena.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-25T10:50:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction", "alternative method", "quantitative determination", "specific magnetic quantum oscillations", "soi-induced landau level anticrossings occur" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "New Journal of Physics", "year": 2013, "month": "Nov", "volume": 15, "number": 11, "pages": 115013 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013NJPh...15k5013W" } } }
