We report the determination of the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) parameters for In 0 . 53 Ga 0 . 47 As / In 0 . 52 Al 0 . 48 As quantum wells (QWs) from the analysis of the weak antilocalization effect. We show that the Dresselhaus SOI is mostly negligible in this system and that the intrinsic parameter for the Rashba effect, a SO ≡ α/ (cid:3) E z (cid:4) , is given to be a SO m ∗ /m e = (1 . 46–1 . 51 × 10 − 17 N S [m − 2 ]) e ˚A 2 , where α is the Rashba SOI coefficient, (cid:3) E z (cid:4) is the expected electric field within the QW, m ∗ /m e is the electron effective mass ratio, and N S is the sheet carrier density. These values for a SO m ∗ were also confirmed by the observation of beatings in the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in our most asymmetric QW sample.
