Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that two-dimensional s2Dd heavy-hole systems in single heterostructures exhibit a decrease in spin–orbit interaction-induced spin splitting with an increase in perpendicular electric field. Using front and back gates, we measure the spin splitting as a function of applied electric field while keeping the density constant. Our results are in contrast to the more familiar case of 2D electrons where spin splitting increases with electric field.
