g-Factor Modification in a Bulk InGaAs Epilayer by an In-plane Electric Field

Abstract

We report on the modification of the g-factor by an in-plane electric field in an In${}_{0.031}$Ga${}_{0.969}$As epilayer. We performed external magnetic field scans of the Kerr rotation of the InGaAs film in order to independently determine the g-factor and the spin-orbit fields. The g-factor increases from $-0.4473\pm 0.0001$ at 0 V/cm to $-0.4419\pm 0.0001$ at 25 V/cm applied along the [1$\overline{1}$0] crystal axis. In addition, spatially-resolved spin measurements show a g-factor dependence on diffusive velocity. The change in g-factor with electric field can have a large effect on the determination of the internal spin-orbit and nuclear fields from Larmor precession frequency measurements.
