Abstract

Microwave cyclotron resonance of electrons and holes at the metal-to-semimetal transition in HgTe quantum wells with an inversed band structure has been investigated. The resonance has been studied by measuring microwave photoresistance in the frequency range of 35–170 GHz. The effective cyclotron masses of electrons and holes have been determined. A shift of the cyclotron resonance of the two-dimensional electrons at the metal-to-semimetal transition possibly caused by plasma effects in the two-dimensional semimetal has been discovered.
