Transport measurements on Mn-doped HgTe quantum wells — •Andreas Budewitz, Kalle Bendias, Philipp Leubner, Christoph Brüne, Hartmut Buhmann, and Laurens W. Molenkamp — Universität Würzburg, Lehrstuhl für experimentelle Physik III

In 2007 HgTe quantum wells have been experimental identified as a quantum spin Hall system [1]. One open question is how quantum spin Hall states interplay with magnetic impurities. Especially the formation of the anomalous quantum Hall effect raises a lot of interest [2, 3]. Since Mn-doped HgTe is a paramagnetic topological insulator it is important to investigate the onset of the ν= -1 plateau at low fields. Here we present transport measurements on Mn-doped HgTe quantum wells. Therefore we show results on different temperatures, magnetic fields, Mn concentration and quantum well width. We discuss our results in comparison to undoped HgTe quantum wells.
