Abstract

The crossing of spin-split Landau levels in a Si/SiGe heterostructure is investigated by means of magneto-transport experiments in tilted magnetic fields. We observe a transition from a paramagnetic into a fully spin polarized state. During the transition strongly enhanced maxima in the transverse resistivity ρxx appear when the parallel field component is oriented along the Hall bar. We assign this effect to an energy level structure strongly modified by exchange interaction effects between different Landau levels. Surprisingly the maximum in ρxx totally disappears when the parallel field component is perpendicular to the Hall bar.
