Gate-controlled electron spin resonance in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs heterostructures -: art. no. 041307

The electron spin resonance (ESR) of two-dimensional electrons is investigated in a gated GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. We found that the ESR resonance frequency can be tuned by means of a gate voltage. The front and back gates of the heterostructure produce opposite g-factor shift, suggesting that electron g factor is being electrostatically controlled by shifting the equilibrium position of the electron wave function from one epitaxial layer to another with different g factors.
