Abstract
Magneto-absorption in HgTe/CdHgTe quantum wells with an inverted band structure in magnetic fields up to 30 T has been studied. It has been shown that the positions of magneto-absorption lines for transitions from the zero-mode Landau levels in a wide range of magnetic field cannot in principle be described in the “single-electron” approximation using the eight-band Kane model even taking into account effects associated with the absence of spatial inversion symmetry. The revealed dependence of the energies of optical transitions on the magnetic field can be qualitatively explained within a “many-body” picture, where transitions between Landau levels are considered as collective modes hybridized by the electron-electron interaction.
