Abstract

The effective g-factor of 2D holes in modulation doped \mbox{p-SiGe/Ge/SiGe} structures was studied. The AC conductivity of samples with hole densities from 3.9×10113.9 \times 10^{11}~to 6.2×1011 cm26.2 \times 10^{11}~\text{cm}^{-2} was measured in perpendicular magnetic fields up to 8 T8~\text{T} using a contactless acoustic method. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of conductivity oscillations, the g\mathrm{g}_{\perp}-factor of each sample was determined. The g\mathrm{g}_{\perp}-factor was found to be decreasing approximately linearly with hole density. This effect is attributed to non-parabolicity of the valence band.
