AbstractSpin–orbit coupling (SOC) is pivotal for various fundamental spin-dependent phenomena in solids and their technological applications. In semiconductors, these phenomena have been so far studied in relatively weak electron–electron interaction regimes, where the single electron picture holds. However, SOC can profoundly compete against Coulomb interaction, which could lead to the emergence of unconventional electronic phases. Since SOC depends on the electric field in the crystal including contributions of itinerant electrons, electron–electron interactions can modify this coupling. Here we demonstrate the emergence of the SOC effect in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in a simple band structure MgZnO/ZnO semiconductor. This electron system also features strong electron–electron interaction effects. By changing the carrier density with Mg-content, we tune the SOC strength and achieve its interplay with electron–electron interaction. These systems pave a way to emergent spintronic phenomena in strong electron correlation regimes and to the formation of quasiparticles with the electron spin strongly coupled to the density.

We have investigated transport properties in high magnetic field of a gated two-dimensional electron system (2DES) separated by a thin barrier from a layer of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) in the quantum Hall regime. The quality of 2DES was found to be high enough to observe both integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE), despite the proximity of the QD layer to the 2DES. However, significant suppression of the magnetoresistance (ρ xx ) and Hall resistance (ρ xy ) were observed in higher magnetic field range of filling factor ν < 1 when a positive voltage was applied to the front gate. The gate voltage dependence of ρ xx and ρ xy shows a well-defined hysteresis loop at the narrow gate voltage range between -0.2 and +0.2 V at ν < 1, while no anomaly was observed at ν > 1. We deduce that charging and discharging of QDs occurs when the gate voltage is varied around Vg ~ 0 V, which indicates that the electron charge states of the QDs affect the transport properties of the nearby 2DES only at ν < 1. We infer that the spin-flip process induces a non-equilibrium state in the 2DEG, which causes the suppression of ρ xx and ρ xy .
