The effects observed in the Shubnikov - de Haas oscillation regime in the HgCdTe/HgTe/HgCdTe heterostructure with a wide (20.3 nm) HgTe quantum well with an inverted band structure are discussed. In a topologically trivial 2D system, Pi(Greek letter) - shift of magnetooscillation phase is found. A thorough experimental study and theoretical analysis of the data is presented to understand the physical causes of this anomalous phase shift. The value of the effective electron mass m_c/m_0 = (0.022+-0.002), obtained from the region of doubly degenerate peaks of magnetoresistance, is approximately half the theoretical estimates. In the region of stronger magnetic fields for nondegenerate peaks of magnetoresistance, we have m_c/m_0 = (0.034+-0.003), which is in good agreement with both theoretical predictions and experimental results obtained from the analysis of activation conductivity in the quantum Hall effect regime. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
