Research on the helical edge states of 2D topological insulators is motivated by exotic fundamental physics, robust topological quantum computation and novel spinorbitronics. In this talk, we report on the use of microwave methods to investigate dynamical transport in HgTe-based 2D topological insulators. More specifically, capacitance spectroscopy highlights the response of the edges which host very mobile carriers, while bulk carriers are drastically slowed down in the gap. Charge relaxation timescales are shorter on the edges, which suggests that edge states can be selectively addressed on timescales over which bulk carriers are frozen. Additionally, we also propose edge resonator geometries to characterize Coulomb interaction by via high-frequency measurements.
