We investigate the electron states in double asymmetric $\rm{HgTe/Cd_{x}Hg_{1-x}Te}$ quantum wells grown along the $[001]$ direction. The subbands are computed by means of the envelope function approximation applied to the 8-band Kane…
We study the effects of electron-hole asymmetry on the electronic structure of helical edge states in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum wells. In the framework of the four-band kp-model, which takes into account the absence of a spatial inversion centre,…
We find that the double-threshold voltage-current characteristics in the insulating regime in the ultra-clean two-valley two-dimensional electron system in SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells are promoted by perpendicular magnetic fields, persisting…
Varying the quantum-well width in an HgTe/CdTe heterostructure allows to realize normal and inverted semiconducting band structures, making it a prototypical system to study two-dimensional (2D) topological-insulator behavior. We have…
We study theoretically the effect of an electric field on the electron states and far-infrared optical properties in narrow-gap lead salt quantum wells. The electron states are described by a two-band Hamiltonian. An application of a strong…
Quantum wells (QWs) based on mercury telluride (HgTe) thin films provide a large scale of unusual physical properties starting from an insulator via a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal to a three-dimensional topological insulator. These…
Impact ionization probabilities were calculated in a CdHgTe quantum well, where the distance between electron subbands is close to the band gap energy. This band structure enables impact ionization with small momentum transfer for electrons…
We present the first experimental study of the double-quantum-well (DQW) system made of 2D layers with inverted energy band spectrum: HgTe. The magnetotransport reveals a considerably larger overlap of the conduction and valence subbands…
A system of two quantum wells (QW), one made of HgCdTe and the other of HgCdMnTe, subjected to electric and magnetic fields $F$ and $B$ parallel to the growth direction, is proposed and described theoretically. It is shown that in such a…
We report a detailed study of the influence of the electron-electron interaction on physical observables (conductance, etc.) of a disordered electron liquid in double quantum well heterostructure. We find that even in the case of common…
Electron drag between two two-dimensional electron gases in magnetic fields has been observed with a polarity opposite that for zero field. This negative drag requires that the electrons have a hole-like dispersion. Density dependence…
By means of CW polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy we demonstrate the sign inversion of $g_z$-component of 2D electron g-factor with narrowing of a hosting GaAs/Al$_{0.33}$Ga$_{0.67}$As quantum well (QW). The energy…
Using analytical formulas as well as a finite-difference scheme, we investigate the magnetic field dependence of the energy spectra and magnetic edge states of HgTe/CdTe-based quantum wells in the presence of perpendicular magnetic fields…
We study the two-dimensional spatially separated electron-hole system with density imbalance at absolute zero temperature. By means of the mean-field theory, we find that the Fulde-Ferrell state is fairly stabilized by the order parameter…
A theory of the static electron polarizability of crystals whose energy spectrum is modified by quantizing magnetic fields is presented. It is argued that The polarizability is strongly affected by non-dissipative Hall currents induced by…
The quantum Hall effect is usually observed when the two-dimensional electron gas is subjected to an external magnetic field, so that their quantum states form Landau levels. In this work we predict that a new phenomenon, the quantum…
The energy spectrum of the conduction band in HgTe/Cd$_x$Hg$_{1-x}$Te quantum wells of a width $d=(4.6-20.2)$ nm has been experimentally studied in a wide range of electron density. For this purpose, the electron density dependence of the…
In the paper the dynamic localization of charged particle (electron) in a quantum wire under the external non-uniform time-dependent electric field is considered. The electrons are trapped in a deep 'dynamic' quantum wells which are the…
The influence of e-h scattering on the conductivity and magnetotransport of 2D semimetallic HgTe is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The presence of e-h scattering leads to the friction between electron and holes resulting in…
We report on the far-infrared magnetospectroscopy of HgTe quantum wells with inverted band ordering at different electron concentrations. We particularly focus on optical transitions from zero-mode Landau levels, which split from the edges…
