We show that, in the presence of an in-plane field component, the excitonic absorption spectrum develops a double-peak structure due to hybridization of bright and dark magnetoexcitons. If the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit constants are comparable, the magnitude of splitting can be tuned in a wide interval by varying the azimuthal angle of the in-plane field. We also show that the interplay between spin-orbit and Coulomb interactions leads to an anisotropy of exciton energy dispersion in the momentum plane. The results suggest a way for direct optical measurements of spin-orbit parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-01-31T23:18:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.35.Ji", "71.70.Ej", "78.67.De" ], "keywords": [ "spin-orbit coupling", "two-dimensional magnetoexcitons", "in-plane field component", "excitonic absorption spectrum", "strong magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 77, "number": 12, "pages": 125338 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 858457, "adsabs": "2008PhRvB..77l5338O" } } }
