Spatially resolved elastic strain and lattice rotation at threading dislocations in HgCdTe/CdZnTe epilayers by dark-field X-ray microscopy

C. Yildirim, A. Benhadjira, P. Ballet +5

Threading dislocations (TDs) propagating from a CdZnTe (CZT) substrate into a liquid-phase-epitaxy HgCdTe (MCT) epilayer set the minority-carrier lifeti…

Highly efficient spin-to-charge current conversion at room temperature in strained HgTe surface states

P. Noël, C. Thomas, Y. Fu +7

We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. The conversion rates are found to…

Gate tunable terahertz cyclotron emission from two-dimensional Dirac fermions

B. Benhamou-Bui, C. Consejo, S. S. Krishtopenko +15

Two-dimensional Dirac fermions in HgTe quantum wells close to the topological phase transition can generate significant cyclotron emission that is magnetic field tunable in the Ter…

Many-particle hybridization of optical transitions from zero-mode Landau levels in HgTe quantum wells

S. Ruffenach, S. S. Krishtopenko, A. V. Ikonnikov +6

We present far-infrared magnetospectroscopy measurements of a HgTe quantum well in the inverted band structure regime over the temperature range of 2 to 60 K. The particularly low…

Nonlinear Terahertz Electroluminescence from Dirac Landau Polaritons

B. Benhamou-Bui, C. Consejo, S. S. Krishtopenko +15

We report Dirac Landau polaritons observed by terahertz (THz) magnetoreflectivity spectroscopy, demonstrating strong coupling between cyclotron transitions of two-dimensional (2D)…

Terahertz cyclotron emission from two-dimensional Dirac fermions

S. Gebert, C. Consejo, S. S. Krishtopenko +13

Since the emergence of graphene, we have seen several proposals for the realization of Landau lasers tunable over the terahertz frequency range. The hope was that the non-equidista…

Revealing topological Dirac fermions at the surface of strained HgTe thin films via Quantum Hall transport spectroscopy

C. Thomas, O. Crauste, B. Haas +7

We demonstrate evidences of electronic transport via topological Dirac surface states in a thin film of strained HgTe. At high perpendicular magnetic fields, we show that the elect…
