We report on Landau level spectroscopy studies of two HgTe quantum wells (QWs) near or at the critical well thickness, where the band gap vanishes. In magnetic fields up to $B$=16T, oriented perpendicular to the QW plane, we observe a $sqrt{B}$ dependence for the energy of the dominant cyclotron resonance (CR) transition characteristic of two-dimensional Dirac fermions. The dominant CR line exhibits either a single or double absorption lineshape for the gapless or gapped QW. Using an effective Dirac model, we deduce the band velocity of single valley Dirac fermions in gapless HgTe quantum wells, $v_F=6.4 times10^5$ m/s, and interpret the double absorption of the gapped QW as resulting from the addition of a small relativistic mass.

We report on temperature-dependent magnetospectroscopy of two HgTe/CdHgTe quantum wells below and above the critical well thickness $d_c$. Our results, obtained in magnetic fields up to 16 T and temperature range from 2 K to 150 K, clearly indicate a
change of the band-gap energy with temperature. The quantum well wider than $d_c$ evidences a temperature-driven transition from topological insulator to semiconductor phases. At the critical temperature of 90 K, the merging of inter- and intra-band transitions in weak magnetic fields clearly specifies the formation of gapless state, revealing the appearance of single-valley massless Dirac fermions with velocity of $5.6times10^5$ m$times$s$^{-1}$. For both quantum wells, the energies extracted from experimental data are in good agreement with calculations on the basis of the 8-band Kane Hamiltonian with temperature-dependent parameters.
We report on the observation of the giant spin-polarized photocurrent in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum well (QW) of critical thickness at which a Dirac spectrum emerges. Exciting QW of 6.6 nm width by terahertz (THz) radiation and sweeping magnetic field we de
tected a resonant photocurrent. Remarkably, the position of the resonance can be tuned from negative (-0.4 T) to positive (up to 1.2 T) magnetic fields by means of optical gating. The photocurent data, accompanied by measurements of radiation transmission as well as Shubnikov-de Haas and quantum Hall effects, give an evidence that the enhancement of the photocurrent is caused by cyclotron resonance in a Dirac fermion system. The developed theory shows that the current is spin polarized and originates from the spin dependent scattering of charge carriers heated by the radiation.
The experimental discovery of the topological Dirac semimetal establishes a platform to search for various exotic quantum phases in real materials. ZrSiS-type materials have recently emerged as topological nodal-line semimetals where gapped Dirac-lik
e surface states are observed. Here, we present a systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of ZrGeTe, a nonsymmorphic symmetry protected Dirac semimetal. We observe two Dirac-like gapless surface states at the same $bar X$ point of the Brillouin zone. Our theoretical analysis and first-principles calculations reveal that these are protected by crystalline symmetry. Hence, ZrGeTe appears as a rare example of a naturally fine tuned system where the interplay between symmorphic and non-symmorphic symmetry leads to rich phenomenology, and thus opens for opportunities to investigate the physics of Dirac semimetallic and topological insulating phases realized in a single material.
The results of experimental study of the magnetoresistivity, the Hall and Shubnikov-de Haas effects for the heterostructure with HgTe quantum well of 20.2 nm width are reported. The measurements were performed on the gated samples over the wide range
of electron and hole densities including vicinity of a charge neutrality point. Analyzing the data we conclude that the energy spectrum is drastically different from that calculated in framework of $kP$-model. So, the hole effective mass is equal to approximately $0.2 m_0$ and practically independent of the quasimomentum ($k$) up to $k^2gtrsim 0.7times 10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$, while the theory predicts negative (electron-like) effective mass up to $k^2=6times 10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$. The experimental effective mass near k=0, where the hole energy spectrum is electron-like, is close to $-0.005 m_0$, whereas the theoretical value is about $-0.1 m_0$.
We report on the clear evidence of massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional system based on III-V semiconductors. Using a gated Hall bar made on a three-layer InAs/GaSb/InAs quantum well, we restore the Landau levels fan chart by magnetotransport a
nd unequivocally demonstrate a gapless state in our sample. Measurements of cyclotron resonance at different electron concentrations directly indicate a linear band crossing at the $Gamma$ point of Brillouin zone. Analysis of experimental data within analytical Dirac-like Hamiltonian allows us not only determing velocity $v_F=1.8cdot10^5$ m/s of massless Dirac fermions but also demonstrating significant non-linear dispersion at high energies.
