A parallel magnetic field lifts the spin degeneracy and allows for the observation of plateaus in integer multiples of $e^2/h$. Upon the application of a perpendicular magnetic field, spin-resolved magnetoelectric subbands are visible. Through finite bias spectroscopy we measure the subband spacings in both parallel and perpendicular direction of the magnetic field and determine the $g$-factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-05T12:44:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gate-defined quantum point contact", "spin states", "high-mobility inas two-dimensional electron gas", "parallel magnetic field lifts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
