Weak localization and spin splitting in inversion layers onp-type InAs

Abstract

We report on the magnetoconductivity of quasi-two-dimensional electron systems in inversion layers on $p$-type InAs single crystals. In low magnetic fields pronounced features of weak localization and antilocalization are observed. They are almost perfectly described by the theory of Iordanskii, Lyanda-Geller, and Pikus. This allows us to determine the spin splitting and the Rashba parameter of the ground electric subband as a function of the electron density.
