Abstract
The linear Zeeman effect of the 2p m = ± 1 donor states is calculated in the effective mass approximation. The resulting level splitting is independent of the longitudinal mass characterizing the ellipsoidal conduction band energy surfaces. This result is valid as long as the Zeeman splitting of the m = ±1 states is small compared to the energy difference between the 2p m = 0 and the 2p m = ± 1 states. The Zeeman pattern to be expected in germanium is plotted as a function of the angle between the magnetic field and the (100) direction.
