Exact and approximate analytical expressions for the band structure are obtained and used to calculate the density of states (DOS) and the longitudinal magnetoresitivity assuming a Gaussian type of level broadening. The interplay between the Zeeman coupling and the two terms of the SOI is discussed. If the strengths $\\alpha$ and $ \\beta$, of the RSOI and DSOI, respectively, are equal and the $g$ factor vanishes, the two spin states are degenerate and a shifted Landau-level structure appears. With the increase of the difference $\\alpha- \\beta$, a novel beating pattern of the DOS and of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations appears distinctly different from that occurring when one of these strengths vanishes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-01-10T20:38:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-dimensional electron gas", "band structure", "spin-orbit interaction", "magnetotransport", "perpendicular magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
