We report on the observation of quantum oscillations in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum well (QW) structures of different widths, which are characterized by an inverted, normal and even Dirac like bandstructure [1,2]. Exciting the QWs by terahertz radiation and sweeping an external magnetic field we observed a resonant photocurrent [3] which shows pronounced oscillations. The photocurrent data are accompanied by measurement of photoconductivity, radiation transmission, as well as, magneto-transport. A comparison of the results shows that the photosignal is enhanced at cyclotron resonance position and is modulated by Shubnikov-De Haas oscillations. Furthermore we present a microscopic model of a magnetic field dependent oscillating current taking into account the oscillations of spin polarization and of conductivity.
