Abstract

The effective masses for spin-up and spin-down electrons of a partially spin-polarized Fermi liquid are theoretically expected to be different. We extract the spin-up and spin-down effective masses from magnetotransport measurements at different temperatures for a two-dimensional electron gas in an In_0.65Ga_0.35As/In_0.52Al_0.48As quantum well exhibiting zero-field spin splitting. We apply two analytical methods, one involving the simultaneous fitting of fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectra and the other involving inverse FFT analysis. Both methods confirm that the effective masses for spin-up and spin-down are different, consistent with theoretical expectations.
