Abstract

The effects of structural (Rashba) and bulk (Dresselhaus) spin-orbit interaction terms on the low-field magnetoresistance are investigated in high-quality two dimensional systems. The weak localization theory accounting for both of these terms valid in the whole range of magnetic fields is proposed. The suppresion of antilocalization correction as Rashba and Dresselhaus terms strengths approach each other is demonstrated. The effect of cubic in the wavevector spin-splitting term is analyzed.
