Abstract
We report measurements of the spin susceptibility, chi proportional, variant g(v)g*m*, in an AlAs two-dimensional electron system where, via the application of in-plane stress, we transfer electrons from one ellipsoidal conduction-band valley to another (g(v) is the valley degeneracy, and m* and g* are the electron effective mass and g factor). At a given density, when the two valleys are equally populated (g(v)=2), the measured g*m* is smaller than when only one valley is occupied (g(v)=1). This observation counters the common assumption that a two-valley two-dimensional system is effectively more dilute than a single-valley system because of its smaller Fermi energy.
