Abstract

Two classes of artificial semiconductor heterostructures, differing only in the inversion symmetry of their internal quantum wells, are studied via magnetotransport. The samples consist of GaAs/(AlGa) As layered structures containing two-dimensional hole systems. The results reveal a lifting of the spin degeneracy of the lowest hole subband in the samples with inversion asymmetric quantum wells. In those structures with symmetric wells the subband remains doubly degenerate.
