It has been demonstrated recently, that the semimetal HgTe opens a band gap of approximately 20 meV when grown strained on a CdTe substrate and thus becomes a three dimensional topological insulator (3D TI)[1].

We show that it is possible to increase the mobility of the surface states by an order of magnitude, if HgTe is sandwiched between epitaxial layers of HgCdTe. The topological insulator is investigated in transport measurements at low temperatures and magnetic fields up to 30 T. Through the enhanced surface mobilites we are able to observe a Dirac specific quantum hall effect. The experimental data suggest, that it has to be discussed within a two surface model for Dirac fermions.
