Abstract
The effective Hamiltonian for holes in a 2D channel with in-plane uniaxial deformation is obtained. Two-dimensional channels on a Si surface are studied in the approximation of a spherically symmetric valence band and on the (100) and (110) surfaces taking account of the cubic symmetry. It is shown that the shift of the positions of the beats of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations that is linear in the deformation is due to the nonequivalence of the compression-tension axis and the direction perpendicular to it in the plane on the (110) surface.
