摘要
The spin-orbit splitting or Rashba alpha parameter at the Fermi energy of 2DEGs in InAlAs/InGaAs heterojunctions is calculated as a function of the electron density, with a variational solution to the multi-band envelope-function model, based on the 8-band Kane model for the bulk. Spin-dependent boundary conditions and mean-field approximation for the electron-electron interaction are used and reasonable good quantitative agreement is obtained with recent Shubnikov-de Haas experimental data.
