Abstract
We present transverse electron focusing measurements in the two dimensional electrons gas formed at the interface of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. The experimental arrangement consists of two orthogonal quantum point contacts (QPCs), one acting as injector and the other as detector of the collimated 1D electrons as a function of transverse magnetic field. The focusing spectrum shows anomalous behaviour, the first and third focusing peaks split into two sub-peaks while second peak remains as a single peak. The observed splitting, a signature of spin states, arises from the spin-orbit interaction when the 1D electrons are injected into the 2D regime, thus allowing us to manipulate the spin states within the 1D channel.
