Spin Characterization and Control Over the Regime of Radiation-Induced Zero-Resistance States

Over the regime of the radiation-induced zero-resistance states and associated oscillatory magnetoresistance, we propose a low-magnetic-field analog of quantum-Hall-limit techniques for the electrical detection of electron spin and nuclear magnetic resonance, dynamical nuclear polarization via electron spin resonance, and electrical characterization of the nuclear spin polarization via the Overhauser shift. In addition, beats observed in the radiation-induced oscillatory magnetoresistance are developed into a method to measure and control the zero-field spin splitting due to the Bychkov-Rashba and bulk inversion asymmetry terms in the high-mobility GaAs-AlGaAs system.
