The magnetic field strongly alters the spin-orbit induced modification to the subband structure when the magnetic length becomes comparable to the lateral confinement. A new subband-dependent energy splitting at k=0 is found which can be much larger than the Zeeman splitting. This is due to the breaking of a combined spin orbital-parity symmetry.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-11-17T15:55:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rashba effect", "quantum wires", "ballistic quasi-one-dimensional electron system", "magnetic field strongly alters", "perpendicular magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
