Abstract
Recent theoretical and experimental results from quasi-one-dimensional heavy-hole systems have suggested that heavy-hole gases have a strongly anisotropic factor. In this theoretical work, we propose a method for measuring this anisotropy using transverse magnetic focusing (TMF). We demonstrate that for experimentally accessible fields, the -factor anisotropy leads to a relative variation in the characteristic of spin splitting of the TMF spectrum which allows for the measurement of the anisotropy of the factor. We show that this variation is insensitive to additional spin-orbit interactions, and is resolvable with current devices.
