Nanostructures in narrow-gap semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) offer the possibility to electrically manipulate spin-polarized currents. We present magnetotransport and THz magnetospectroscopy studies of Hall-bars from an InGaAs/InAlAs quantum well with an InAs-inserted channel. The two-dimensional electron gas is at 53 nm depth and has a carrier density of about 6·1011 cm−2 and mobility of about 2·105 cm2/Vs. The measurements reveal an effective mass of 0.038m0 and an anisotropic g-factor of up to 20, larger than for bulk InAs. We demonstrate that quasi-one-dimensional channels (Q1D) can be successfully formed by micro-laser lithography and that the subband population is controlled by in-plane gates. Contrary to previous reports, asymmetric in-plane gate voltages applied to Q1D channels did not show signs of SOI-induced conductance anomalies [1].
