We report on the generation of a nonuniform spatial distribution of the heavy and light-hole excitons in a multiple quantum wells system integrated with a localized inhomogeneous weak magnetic field. An inhomogeneous spatially resolved depression of the Zeeman splittings of the heavy-hole excitons and the light-hole excitons with respect to their translational wave vectors is observed. A localized inverted concentration of the two types of the excitons due to the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field is also measured. A simple method to integrate permanent magnetic materials with the multiple quantum wells system is used to create an accessible degree of control for magnetically manipulating the excitonic distributions.
