Résumé:

We report on sub-terahertz photoconductivity under the magnetic field of a two dimensional topologicalinsulator based on HgTe quantum wells. We perform a detailed visualization of Landau levelsby means of photoconductivity measured at different gate voltages. This technique allows oneto determine a critical magnetic field, corresponding to topological phase transition from invertedto normal band structure, even in almost gapless samples. The comparison with realistic calculationsof Landau levels reveals a smaller role of bulk inversion asymmetry in HgTe quantum wellsthan it was assumed previously.
