Enhancement Mechanism of the ElectrongFactor in Quantum Point Contacts

Abstract: The electron g-factor measured in a quantum point contact by source-drain bias spectroscopy is significantly larger than its value in a two-dimensional electron gas. This enhancement, established experimentally in numerous studies, is an outstanding puzzle. In the present work we explain the mechanism of this enhancement in a theory accounting for the electron-electron interactions. We show that the effect relies crucially on the non-equilibrium nature of the spectroscopy at finite bias.

“…31) For this region, the parabolic confinement due to B z contributes to the apparent enhancement in the splitting . 31,50) We consider that the electron-electron many-body interaction is the underlying cause of the enhanced g-factor. In an earlier experiment, Thomas et al 62) observed 0.5 plateau that suggests a spin polarized state in zero magnetic field, in which the lower density enhances the many-body interaction.…”

“…The exchange interaction is known to lead to an enhanced g-factor for spin splitting. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Recent scanning gate experiments, investigating edge stripes passing quantum point contacts at high B, 12 indicate modified screening behavior within the compressible stripes. Furthermore, a very recent investigation of the local nature of compressibility in the bulk of a IQH sample strongly challenges existing single-particle theories.…”

“…exchange interactions, are not included in the CSG approach. Nevertheless the observed exchange-induced spin-splitting of LLs 7,10,11,15 can be modelled phenomenologically by introducing an effective g-factor enhancement. 10 Theoretical descriptions 7,16 of the enhancement predict a characteristic ν factor dependence of almost vanishing enhanced g at even integer ν and maximal enhancement at odd integer ν.…”
