Description

Cyclotron resonance (CR) study of HgCdTe-based quantum wells with both inverted and normal band structures in quantizing magnetic fields was performed. In normal-band sample in addition to electron CR transitions a strong absorption line presumably related to impurity transitions was discovered. Anticrossing of electron and hole Landau levels was observed in inverted-band sample. In semimetallic HgTe quantum wells with inverted band structure, a hole CR line was observed for the first The obtained results were interpreted within the Kane 8 × 8 model, the valence band offset of CdTe and HgTe, and the Kane parameter EP being adjusted
