AbstractWe have measured the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) effect in a HgTe/CdTe superlattice (SL) with a tilted magnetic field in the absence of an external electric field. We found that the peaks of the SdH oscillation changed with Bcosθ, indicating the two-dimensional character of the electron gas. The carrier concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is equal to 2.95×1011 cm−2. The 2DEG shows the existence of a Stark ladder, which is caused by the internal electrostatic field, near the interface between the substrate and the SL. From the temperature dependence of the SdH measurements, we also show that the 3DEG in the SL miniband contributes to the non-oscillatory magnetoresistance and that the mobility of 3DEG in the miniband is lower than that of 2DEG in the Stark ladder.

Tunneling (one-particle excitation) density of states in the vicinity of Fermi level of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) subjected to an external parallel and zero magnetic field is calculated. It reveals a pseudo-gap recently observed in the experiments. The gap originates in spin polarization of 2DEG. Nonmonotonic dependence of energy on a Landau level filling factor (density) for perpendicular magnetic field was also obtained. It implies the tunneling current peculiarities at filling factors of about 1/2 and 1. The Ising-like model of the exchange interaction in 2DEG was exploited instead of the conventional one. It was crucial to achieve even a qualitative agreement with experimental data.
