A new physical phenomenon has been found, namely a giant enhancement of the exciton magnetic moment due to its motion. This phenomenon was observed in GaAs, CdTe and ZnSe based quantum wells with QW widths much larger than the exciton Bohr radius. Consequently, it is relevant to any crystal with zinc blende structure.
