Terahertz properties of Dirac electrons and holes in HgTe films with critical thickness — •Uladzislau Dziom1, Alexey Shuvaev1, Nikolai Mikhailov2, Ze Don Kvon2, and Andrei Pimenov11Institute of Solid State Physics, Vienna University of Technology, 1040 Vienna, Austria — 2Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia

We present and discuss properties of mercury telluride (HgTe) films with critical thickness in far-infrared (THz) spectral range. Density of charge carriers is controlled, using contact-free optical gating by visible light. Transmission measurements in applied magnetic field demonstrate switching from hole to electron-like behavior, as illumination time increases. The cyclotron mass of the electrons, extracted from the data, shows a square root dependence upon the charge concentration in a broad range of parameters. This can be interpreted as a clear proof of a linear dispersion relations, i.e. Dirac-type charge carriers.
