Popis: We consider spin-resolved cyclotron trajectories in a magnetic focusing device with quantum point source and drain contacts defined within the InSb two-dimensional electron gas and their mapping by the scanning gate microscopy. Besides the perpendicular component of the external magnetic field which bends the electron trajectories we consider an in-plane component which introduces the spin-dependence of the cyclotron radius. We demonstrate that the focusing conductance peaks become spin-split by the in-plane magnetic field component of the order of a few tesla and that the spin-resolved trajectories can be traced separately with the conductance mapping.
