Edge States in p-n Junctions in Inverted Band HgTe Quantum Wells
We investigate current noise of lateral p-n junctions, electrostatically defined in 14 nm–wide HgTe-based quantum wells (QWs) with inverted band structure. Consistent with previous experiments on 8-10 nm QWs, the p-n junctions resistances are close to h/2e, indicating the edge states contribution to transport. Taking into account contacts heating, we find that the observed shot noise is suppres...
متن کاملHelical quantum states in HgTe quantum dots with inverted band structures.
We investigate theoretically the electron states in HgTe quantum dots (QDs) with inverted band structures. In sharp contrast to conventional semiconductor quantum dots, the quantum states in the gap of the HgTe QD are fully spin-polarized and show ringlike density distributions near the boundary of the QD and spin-angular momentum locking. The persistent charge currents and magnetic moments, i....
متن کاملQuantum spin hall insulator state in HgTe quantum wells.
Recent theory predicted that the quantum spin Hall effect, a fundamentally new quantum state of matter that exists at zero external magnetic field, may be realized in HgTe/(Hg,Cd)Te quantum wells. We fabricated such sample structures with low density and high mobility in which we could tune, through an external gate voltage, the carrier conduction from n-type to p-type, passing through an insul...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of HgTe quantum wells
Using analytical formulas as well as a finite-difference scheme, we investigate themagnetic field dependence of the energy spectra and magnetic edge states of HgTe/CdTe-based quantum wells in the presence of perpendicular magnetic fields and hard walls for the band-structure parameters corresponding to the normal and inverted regimes. Whereas one can not find counterpropagating, spin-polarized ...
متن کاملValence band states in diamond p-delta-doped quantum wells
The hole energy structure in boron delta-doped diamond is studied with the use of the 6 × 6 k · p Hamiltonian. The approach starts with a Thomas-Fermi-based description of the heavy, light and split-off hole states at the Brillouin zone center, and is extended to k 6= 0 points by using the obtained Γ-point solutions as a basis for the diagonalization that leads to the energy vs k relations corr...
