Taking into account the spin precession caused by the spin-orbit splitting of the conduction band in semiconductor quantum wells, we have calculated the Fourier spectra of conductance and state-density correlators in a 2D ring, in order to investigate the structure of the main peak corresponding to Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. In narrow rings the peak structure is determined by the competition between the spin-orbit and the Zeeman couplings. The latter leads to a peak broadening, and produces the peak splitting in the state-density Fourier spectrum. We have found an oscillation of the peak intensity as a function of the spin-orbit coupling constant, and this effect of the quantum interference caused by the spin geometric phase is destroyed with increasing Zeeman coupling.
