The results of the longitudinal and Hall magnetoresistivity measurements in the Shubnikov - de Haas oscillation regime for the HgCdTe/HgTe/HgCdTe heterostructures with a wide (20.3 nm) HgTe quantum well are presented. An anomalous phase shift of magneto-oscillations is detected: in the region of spin-unsplit peaks the longitudinal resistivity maxima are located at even filling factor numbers in contradiction with a conventional situation in 2D systems. It is shown that the observed features are associated with the inverted nature of the spectrum in the investigated quantum well with the electron-type conduction along the size-quantized subband H1 of HgTe band {Gamma}8, for which the spin splitting is comparable to (and even greater than) the orbital one. The results obtained are compared with the phase shift effects of both magneto-oscillations and the plateau of the quantum Hall effect in monolayer graphene.

The Haldane model on a honeycomb lattice is a paradigmatic example of a system featuring quantized Hall conductivity in the absence of an external magnetic field, that is, a quantum anomalous Hall effect. Recent theoretical work predicted that the an omalous Hall conductivity of massive Dirac fermions can display Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, which could be observed in topological insulators and honeycomb layers with strong spin--orbit coupling. Here, we investigate the electronic transport properties of Chern insulators subject to high magnetic fields by means of accurate spectral expansions of lattice Greens functions. We find that the anomalous component of the Hall conductivity displays visible SdH oscillations at low temperature. textcolor{black}{The effect is shown to result from the modulation of the next-nearest neighbour flux accumulation due to the Haldane term,} which removes the electron--hole symmetry from the Landau spectrum. To support our numerical findings, we derive a long-wavelength description beyond the linear (Dirac cone) approximation. Finally, we discuss the dependence of the energy spectra shift for reversed magnetic fields with the topological gap and the lattice bandwidth.
The results of experimental study of the magnetoconductivity of 2D electron gas caused by suppression of the interference quantum correction in HgTe single quantum well heterostructure with the inverted energy spectrum are presented. It is shown that only the antilocalization magnetoconductivity is observed at the relatively high conductivity $sigma>(20-30)G_0$, where $G_0= e^2/2pi^2hbar$. The antilocalization correction demonstrates a crossover from $0.5ln{(tau_phi/tau)}$ to $1.0ln{(tau_phi/tau)}$ behavior with the increasing conductivity or decreasing temperature (here $tau_phi$ and $tau$ are the phase relaxation and transport relaxation times, respectively). It is interpreted as a result of crossover to the regime when the two chiral branches of the electron energy spectrum contribute to the weak antilocalization independently. At lower conductivity $sigma<(20-30)G_0$, the magnetoconductivity behaves itself analogously to that in usual 2D systems with the fast spin relaxation: being negative in low magnetic field it becomes positive in higher one. We have found that the temperature dependences of the fitting parameter $tau_phi$ corresponding to the phase relaxation time demonstrate reasonable behavior, close to 1/T, over the whole conductivity range from $5G_0$ up to $130G_0$. However, the $tau_phi$ value remains practically independent of the conductivity in distinction to the conventional 2D systems with the simple energy spectrum, in which $tau_phi$ is enhanced with the conductivity.
We report the observation of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the underdoped cuprate superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ (Y124). For field aligned along the c-axis, the frequency of the oscillations is $660pm 30$ T, which corresponds to $sim 2.4$ % of the total area of the first Brillouin zone. The effective mass of the quasiparticles on this orbit is measured to be $2.7pm0.3$ times the free electron mass. Both the frequency and mass are comparable to those recently observed for ortho-II YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.5}$ (Y123-II). We show that although small Fermi surface pockets may be expected from band structure calculations in Y123-II, no such pockets are predicted for Y124. Our results therefore imply that these small pockets are a generic feature of the copper oxide plane in underdoped cuprates.
We report polarization-resolved resonant reflection spectroscopy of a charge-tunable atomically-thin valley semiconductor hosting tightly bound excitons coupled to a dilute system of fully spin- and valley-polarized holes in the presence of a strong magnetic field. We find that exciton-hole interactions manifest themselves in hole-density dependent, Shubnikov-de Haas-like oscillations in the energy and line broadening of the excitonic resonances. These oscillations are evidenced to be precisely correlated with the occupation of Landau levels, thus demonstrating that strong interactions between the excitons and Landau-quantized itinerant carriers enable optical investigation of quantum-Hall physics in transition metal dichalcogenides.
We report measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in single crystals of BiTeCl at magnetic fields up to 31 T and at temperatures as low as 0.4 K. Two oscillation frequencies were resolved at the lowest temperatures, $F_{1}=65 pm 4$ Tesla and $F_{2}=156 pm 5$ Tesla. We also measured the infrared optical reflectance $left(cal R(omega)right)$ and Hall effect; we propose that the two frequencies correspond respectively to the inner and outer Fermi sheets of the Rashba spin-split bulk conduction band. The bulk carrier concentration was $n_{e}approx1times10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ and the effective masses $m_{1}^{*}=0.20 m_{0}$ for the inner and $m_{2}^{*}=0.27 m_{0}$ for the outer sheet. Surprisingly, despite its low effective mass, we found that the amplitude of $F_{2}$ is very rapidly suppressed with increasing temperature, being almost undetectable above $Tapprox4$ K.
