The g-factors for spin splitting are highly anisotropic, with angular variations as large as a factor of five. The angular dependence fits well to ellipsoids. Both the principal-axis directions and g-factor magnitudes vary between different energy levels within one nanoparticle. The variations agree quantitatively with random-matrix theory predictions which incorporate spin-orbit coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-06-22T16:39:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single quantum states", "strongly-anisotropic g-factors", "measurements", "individual energy states", "angular dependence fits" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
