چکیده
In this Supplementary Information document we provide: a description of the spectral resolution and detector response deconvolution of the THz-TDS data; layer-by-layer sample details; a summary of the cyclotron resonance of the substrates at elevated temperatures; a description of the time-domain model used, and the equivalence between quantum and classical pictures; and a description of the inclusion of nonparabolicity in the Landau level energy calculation.

Narrow heavy-hole cyclotron resonances split by the cubic Rashba spin-orbit interaction in strained germanium quantum wells
The spin-orbit interaction was found to split the cyclotron resonance of heavy holes confined in high-mobility, compressively strained germanium quantum wells. The interference between coherent spin-split cyclotron resonances was tracked on picosecond time scales using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Analysis in the time domain, or using a time-frequency decomposition based on the Gabor-Mor...
متن کاملTerahertz quantum Hall effect for spin-split heavy-hole gases in strained Ge quantum wells
Spin-split heavy-hole gases in strained germaniumquantumwells were characterized by polarisationresolved terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Effectivemasses, carrier densities, g-factors, transport lifetimes,mobilities andRashba spin-splitting energies were evaluated, giving quantitative insights into the influence of strain. The Rashba coefficient was found to lower for samples with higher bia...
متن کاملCubic Rashba spin-orbit interaction of a two-dimensional hole gas in a strained-Ge/SiGe quantum well.
The spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of a two-dimensional hole gas in the inversion symmetric semiconductor Ge is studied in a strained-Ge/SiGe quantum well structure. We observe weak antilocalization (WAL) in the magnetoconductivity measurement, revealing that the WAL feature can be fully described by the k-cubic Rashba SOI theory. Furthermore, we demonstrate electric field control of the Rashba S...
متن کاملHole weak anti-localization in a strained-Ge surface quantum well
We report a magneto-transport study of a two-dimensional hole gas confined to a strained Ge quantum well grown on a relaxed Si0.2Ge0.8 virtual substrate. The conductivity of the hole gas measured as a function of a perpendicular magnetic field exhibits a zero-field peak resulting from weak anti-localization. The peak develops and becomes stronger upon increasing the hole density by means of a t...
متن کاملSpin-Hall transport of heavy holes in III-V semiconductor quantum wells
We investigate spin transport of heavy holes in III-V semiconductor quantum wells in the presence of spin-orbit coupling of the Rashba type due to structure-inversion asymmetry. Similarly to the case of electrons, the longitudinal spin conductivity vanishes, whereas the off-diagonal elements of the spin-conductivity tensor are finite giving rise to an intrinsic spin-Hall effect. For a clean sys...
