Polarization dependent Landau level crossing in a two-dimensional electron system in MgZnO/ZnO-heterostructure

We report electrical transport measurements in a tilted magnetic field on a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system confined at the MgZnO/ZnO heterointerface. The observation of multiple crossing events of spin-resolved Landau levels (LLs) enables the mapping of the sequence of electronic states. We further measure the renormalization of electron spin susceptibility at zero field and the susceptibility dependence on the electron spin polarization. The latter manifests the deviation from the Pauli spin susceptibility. As the result, the crossing of spin-resolved LLs shifts to smaller tilt angles and the first Landau level coincidence event is absent even when the magnetic field has only a perpendicular component to the 2DES plane.
