Abstract
The observation of a new physical phenomenon, a giant increase in the longitudinal magnetic moment of an exciton in motion, is reported. The effect is observed in the wide GaAs-, CdTe-, and ZnSe-based quantum wells, with a width much larger than the exciton Bohr radius, and hence relates to any crystals with a zinc-blend structure.
