Here we measure hole magnetic focussing for two different magnitudes of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We find that when the Rashba spin-orbit magnitude is large there is significant attenuation of one of the focussing peaks, which is conventionally associated with a change in the spin polarisation. We instead show that in hole systems with a $k^3$ spin-orbit interaction, this peak suppression is due to a change in the scattering of one spin state, not a change in spin polarisation. We also show that the change in scattering length extracted from magnetic focussing is consistent with results obtained from measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. This result suggests that scattering must be considered when relating focussing peak amplitude to spin polarisation in hole systems", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-07T07:58:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin polarisation", "spin dependent scattering", "transverse magnetic focussing", "hole systems", "measure hole magnetic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
